Value of a 1963 Fischer Pool Table with 1-Piece Slate
This is a family-owned pool table which I believe to be circa 1963. It is a Fischer pool table with a solid one-piece 1-inch thick slate.
What is the value of this Fischer pool table?

This is a Fischer "Crown" pool table.
They are good-playing and solid pool tables when set up properly and with well-maintained cushions and cloth, but they honestly aren't worth much of anything.
Maybe a couple-hundred bucks best case. It's in pretty rough shape, and the buyer would likely be spending ~$500+ more for transportation and setup.
I know that seems low, but this type of table is many years out of style (yet doesn't have the universal appeal that a true antique pool table would have from say, the 1900s). It's pretty banged up, and you can't get replacement parts for these very easily, if at all. Also, just take a look at what's on Craigslist and other classified sites. People are practically giving away used pool tables these days.
For example, I just searched eBay for free pool table... and look, first result:
It's FREE! You need a truck or van for transportation.
Contact for pickup info. Ready for pickup! I'm moving so need to get rid of it asap.
