Pool Cue Rack - From Cornell University Willard Straight Hall - All Oak, 12 Cues

Description

Pool Cue Rack - Made by the
Heywood Wakefield Company
Rack came out of the Willard Straight Hall (WSH) billiard room (directly above the spired entrance)
WSH is the Student Union on Cornell's Ithaca Campus
The rack was
likely
manufactured around the time WSH opened in 1925
It is constructed of solid oak in a Mission style
It looks much like like the billiard observation chairs (seen in the images) that also came from WSH
Rack holds 12 Cues
Measures Roughly:
54" H,
32" W, and 3" in Profile (maybe 25lbs boxed)
Cornell closed the WSH billiard room around 2001, after ~ 75 years. This rack along with the two observation chairs you see in the images, were saved by the buildings caretaker, and later
acquired
by me. I was a Cornell student in the mid 80's and an employee in the WSH billiard room...some of my best memories of my time Ithaca. If you attended Cornell and ever played in the Straight Pool Room, you likely used this rack (and sat on those chairs).
Will ship within 8 hours of receipt of payment or the next business day.
