Value of a Goodman Leavitt Yatter Pool Table Circa 1910
How much is a ~1910 Goodman Leavitt Yatter pool table worth?
The pool table is all original except for the bumpers, leather pockets, and felt which was replaced in the 1990s. It has Brazilian rose wood rails with original ivory sights.
There is a matching cue rack and ball rack, which are both all original as well.
Would anyone have an idea what it's value might be?

billiardsforum on 10/5/2023 8:28:07 PMWe're going to need to see clear photos of the pool table including pictures of the legs, long and short sides, rails, name plate, etc.
Once we can see what we're dealing with, we can look into the valuation.

See the photos you requested below.
Note the matching cue and ball rack in background.
Any thoughts on value, or any referral to an antique pool table dealer would be appreciated.

What an exquisite antique pool table! Thanks for sharing the photos.
It's an incredible billiard room as well!
An antique pool table in a condition like this could potentially receive an appraisal at somewhere between $6,000 and $12,000, give or take, assuming there are no issues with condition (such as the visible ding.
A pool table from this company sold at auction for over $20,000 but it was much more intricate with marquetry inlay all over and had been immaculately restored.
It's tough with these older antique pool tables from more obscure manufacturers (e.g. any manufacturer other than Brunswick Balke-Collender Co.) as there aren't nearly as many comparable sales to base it on.
However, given it's potential value, I would suggest a professional appraisal from either Blatt Billiards, Classic Billiards, or Bankshot Antiques.
On another note—I am not sure if you have this, but here's the page from the J.W. Goodman billiard catalog circa 1899-1900 showing your model. I believe it is a J.W Goodman (Goodman Leavitt Yatter) pool table model "No. 27" from page 33:
Thank you very much for the info and the catalog reference. I did not have that.
I am only the second owner of this pool table. It was purchased by a doctor in Portland, ME (the receipt under the slate) and sat in his house for 90 years until a billiards dealer bought it, cleaned it up, and sold it to me in 1997 when I had the room build out for the pool table.
I appreciate the thoughts on value.
If you think of, or come across anything else, please share.
