Original Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. Catalog from 1898:

The Pfister is a design which will at once appeal to the refined taste of good judges of artistic and mechanical excellence. It is modeled in a style singularly correct in every feature, while the perfect harmony shown in its gracefully sweeping lines and admirable contour will make it one of the most attractive adjuncts of private residences, prominent clubs, etc. This style is usually manufactured in antique oak or mahogany, but, when desired, can be made of any kind of wood.

The Pfister is also noticeable from the fact that the legs are constructed together with the two ends in one body. This is one of the best improvements produced by us and has met with very satisfactory results. The sides and heads are of the handsome Ogee style.

The construction of the head blocks of our tables is covered by letters-patent, the special feature being that greater stability is insured than can be found in tables of any other manufacturer. The mechanical construction and general design of some of our tables are copied, after a fashion, by various imitators, but they cannot and do not reach, even in the remotest degree, the recognized standard of perfection our tables have attained.

Furnished either as a carom or pool table, or both combined. All combination tables have our patent adjustable carom plugs with iron fastenings.

Carried in stock in 4 1/2' x 9' and 5' x 10' size.

All tables are shipped with Vermont slate bed from our own quarries, imported Simonis cloth, and the incomparable patent Monarch cushions.

From page 47 of the 1908-1909 Brunswick Balke Collender Co. catalog:

This celebrated design is without a peer in high class billiard and pool rooms.

The Pfister is a design which will at once appeal to the refined taste of good judges of artistic and mechanical excellence. It is modeled in a style singularly correct in every feature, while the perfect harmony shown in its gracefully sweeping lines and admirable contour will make it one of the most attractive adjuncts of private residences, prominent clubs, etc.

The slate bed is best quality Vermont one inch thick, the sections being joined with brass dowels and sockets. No screw holes on the playing surface. Can be furnished with slate 1/2" in thickness where desired, at a small advance in cost.

The cushions are the celebrated quick acting Monarch, guaranteed the most perfect angle cushion in the world. Used by all professional players in America and Europe.

The cushion rails are of extra heavy construction and firmly bolted to the slate bed. In all of our high grade tables, what is termed a "blind cushion rail" is made use of, that is the bolts holding the cushion rails to the slate bed are concealed by woodwork. This eliminates the cheap appearing ornamental bolt caps and gives greater weight to the cushion rail, which means better results from the cushions. The cushion rail tops are veneered with rosewood, which does not change color, cannot be easily disfigured with lighted cigars and does not have the objectional features of a varnish finish.

Furnished either as a carom or pool table, or both combined. Framework built in sections that can be taken apart for shipment. Corner joints reinforced by heavy iron bolts.
