The Brunswick Anniversary is a handsome table that combines the traditional beauty of walnut with the modern touch of attractive aluminum. It is constructed of selected cabinet woods contoured in smooth, flowing lines, finished in rich walnut. Natural finish aluminum corner castings give a modern contrast. All of Brunswick's famous PLUS values are featured in the Anniversary Table-Monarch "Live Action" cushions, perfectly matched slates, lop quality cloth, new style rail construction, and advance design, one-piece molded pockets. The massive hardwood frame of the Anniversary rests firmly on two smart, oval-shaped, pedestal legs. Carefully located supports in each pedestal evenly distribute the weight of the bed slate for absolute rigidity, insuring a perfect playing surface at all times.
