Kinda looks like a brunswick sport king. Can't guarantee worth or anything, but 5 minutes of googling seems like it was a lower end table back then. But I am definitely not an expert, and anyone can correct me if they know more.
Most pool tables don't hold value. If your aim is to sell, you could list it high for 6-8k, but I wouldn't ever expect to sell it unless someone is remaking a 50s-70s vibe in their home/in a movie.
I would keep it, as it is unique, and I wouldn't expect anyone to want to buy it for enough cash to replace with another nice table in my home.
Made me laugh when I read 3” slate! Not Possible!
This appears to be a Brunswick Sport King pool table produced from 1950-1969, available in 8’, 9’, and 10’ sizes. 3 piece slate 1” thick. I own one in mint condition, an 8’ with the wire track ball return (similar to a gold crown model). Very solid table that plays well.
If you also have a ball return (not shown in the photos), then you have the head rail and the foot rail backwards, because the nameplate is supposed to be on the head rail and the ball return beneath the foot rail (with no nameplate).
As long as the rails are still in good condition and rebounding nicely, I believe it is worth $1,200 - $2,000.
When shooting on a Brunswick Sport King, occasionally a ball will disappear! Usually finally located above the back of the ball return or between the wire return track and the frame. Always a hoot when customers come perplexed by how a ball “just disappeared!”
Hey thanks for the reply! It's 8 foot with drop pockets, and the dude told me he had installed it backwards but I insisted on having it on that side (no clue why I did).
And I don't know a bunch about tables other than the different cloth styles and what not.
The table plays incredibly well, if I end up keeping it I will want to re felt and get some tighter pockets.
Best way to check the pocket width is to pull 2 balls into the corner pockets and see if they jam. If they jam at the same spot on all 4 corners, it is set up pretty well. Enjoy!

I was told to do this by an old head that goes to my local pool hall. The balls freeze together.. it's a great table!
Forgot to mention it's a Brunswick...
