For sale we have a vintage Sidney A. Tarrson Bumpo Pool Marble/Table/Board game with original box. This thing is rare, from what I've gathered after hours of research, I believe it was manufactured between 1957 and 1960 in Chicago Illinois. In a way this can be considered the first edition of the Bumper Pool table. Kind of like a miniature version as the table is only 17" x 24". It is incredibly hard to find anything related to this item on the internet, so if you know more about it pl...ease inform me. On the box you can see it's No.532 and it has the words "TRADE MARK". Overall the box is in good condition. There is some wear and a mark in the middle of it as you can see from pictures. The structure of the box seems to be holding together well.
I'd say the best part of the table is the marbles that come with it. The camera doesn't capture how neat these vintage marbles are. They look very clean and have a nice shine. In the closeup of the marbles you can see the two original 'catchers' that should be placed under the holes. From what I can tell these have never been screwed into the bottom. The pool cues also look like they have never been used, as you can see from the pictures the tips look brand new.
The felt of the table is pretty great for the most part, (you can tell where the bumpers were inserted at some point which brought a little bit of the felt of with it). Besides where the bumpers are inserted the rest of the felt looks fantastic. The bumper edge is kind of brittle but holding together well for the most part. There is one piece that came off but luckily it's still with the box so it can be glued back on. The structure of the table itself is well intact and the legs fit in the holes just right. There is a black mark on the bottom of the table but that's about the only thing wrong with it cosmetically.
Overall this set is in really great condition for its age and would be a wonderful addition to any collection. Item is sold as is. Buyer to pay for shipping. Please email me if you have any questions.
