Billiards Fans? Old Spalding Pool Cue Rack...WELL on 2nd Thought maybe FISHING FANS?
I got this pool cue rack at a recent local auction - i have never seen another early spalding one - the spalding markings look great - i have not even attempted to clean it up .....i know what the baseball back racks bring, but have never been able to locate another pool stick holder ----- i have no idea on value or other info on this bad boy - anyone seen any of these?

A similar design by Brunswick Balke-Collender would be $300-400. I have never seen a Spalding one, but billiard antique collectors are generally more practical than we are, so it wouldn't be much more if any.

spalding billiard rack
Hi Run Scott, this could be a billiard rack, but more likely a fishing rod rack. Spalding got back in the fishing tackle business from 1928 - 1932. Are you interested in selling it? I know its been a while since you posted this, thanks

Fishing ya say?
Well that changes the equation!!...Somehow I like it better as a Fishing pole holder/point of purchase display...I must say it's hard to grasp from the photos but interesting. By the way I believe bwild22 would be the owner....Cool piece

Fishing POS display makes more sense to me as well.

carlton - you are correct...i am the owner... i bought it at a local auction here last summer ....it comes apart into many pieces as well.... it was in a long narrow box at the sale, nobody knew what it was.... i happened to stick my head in the box before it sold and i saw the spalding emblem...and right away i went crazy thinking it might be one of the old baseball bat displays...but quickly realized it wasnt but was still thrilled to get it home and see what i had and this is how it pieced together... the fishing rod idea might very well be correct - no idea why i assumed it must be for pool...
emblems and markings are great - dust and dirt came with it - i should get around to getting different pictures of it sometime haha |
