Thanks! My girlfriend likes it too so it lives in our lounge-room.

The only problem now is deciding which cues should be in it.

The listing said "This is a beautiful piece of furniture that was found by Alcocks in their attic a few years back."

I looks like the sort of thing the Riley's were producing in the 1930's, although I can't say that I recognise it as one of theirs, so it could be later. Certainly appears to be in immaculate condition.

I need me one of those but paying for shipping to Canada would kill me. Maybe I'll get lucky though as I'm going to see a table where the husband had it for years before he passed away, so maybe there will be something there (fingers crossed)

Is there a table that goes with that nice rack?

I had to drive to Melbourne (8 hours each way) to pick it up. I went to watch the Sydney Swans in the Grand Final (AFL) but they got killed unfortunately. Still, the trip was worth it. I only paid $400 and the seller said she paid $1600 when she bought it from Alcocks about 20 years ago. It does have a few small marks on it, but it is in very good condition. It is very solid. No room for a table in my Sydney unit (think broom cupboard).

I wonder what used to be on the back (see pic)? Maybe a mirror or stained glass?

Yes, those cues are mine. The rest of them live under my bed. Plus I have a few down at the club. Just don't tell my girlfriend.

Nice buy mate and you are lucky i missed it on Ebay or else i would of got it!! Looks awesome and would be even better in my house next to my table in the lounge room!!

Alcocks are Australias greatest table makers IMO and anything made by them is mega $$$$$ but outstanding quality.
