The very desirable Life Pool Scoreboard , these do hold a bit of value,  all though they do not fetch the very high prices of the 1980s and 90s and have halved in price with Ebay sales , expect to pay around the £350 to £450 mark for one of these in this Fair to average condition , this one has a bit of renovation the yellow is a new slide and the brass slide covers are not original feature , these will be hiding wear to the slot of the slide marker  , and is a normal wear a tare thing with these type of boards and shows it has had club or heavy use in its life .

The period Victorian revolving cue rack valued at around the same £450 as the scoreboard , 20 years ago these where fetching £750 easy , believe it or not a new replica of this  is sold for around the same price or even more  , this one is an original one though

This Orme  & sons table was renovated by a firm I used to work for from 1980 to 2012 , and I am sure I helped installed this table in 1990 with the help of stiens or jonills removals men doing the lifting upstairs of the heavy slates .
The table had the cushions re-polished and re-rubber plus re-cover and the frame was waxed and buffed up , this table looks to have kept it’s reconditioned appearance and the woodwork looks in excellent order.
So there you have it , either bid for the entire package or bid just for the other Victorian  accessories
