Title: 1950s exhibit supply company 3 hole Skill Pool
Post by: ddstoys on June 12, 2020, 09:26:35 PM
Picked this beauty up today looks to be almost all original including the cues,

  I’m assuming it’s very similar to the ones your dad made Nino?

  It was missing 1 red ball, coin door key and one plastic cup for the Center hole

I converted the lamps to LEDs and wired in a 6v SLA battery I hate power cords

I’ll probably re cloth it one day if I can find or make the missing Center cup

Thats a Bumper Pool Table. VERY popular in the coffee shops during the 50s-70s. Rare and very interesting to play. I'll see if I can find the pictures of the one Dad made. Glad you have one mate - I don't know anyone else who has one !

Looks interesting, how do you play it?  Is it just like regular pool but obviously with less pockets that are more difficult and less balls each to sink?

I was curious about the Rotary Merchendiser in the background of a couple of pics. Is that like a version of the modern ones where you hit a button and the arm slowly moves out and hopefully sweeps/pushes a prize into the side hole as the whole table spins around?

Bumper pool is played with 5 balls each you take turns trying to get your balls into either the Center hole or the opposite end the first  ball needs to be sunk into the opposite hole before playing any other balls and the final ball needs to be potted Into the Center hole,

  There’s a few other rules but that’s the basics

 
  And yes the restart merchandiser is from the 1930s  the prize tray rotates and you hit the button to swing the arm and try knock prizes into the Center
