Foosball Players of AZ,

I have had this table since I was a kid and it's getting to be time to sell it, but I have no idea what it is worth. There is no manufacturers name on it, so finding anything on the internet has been tough. Here's what I can tell you about it: the play surface is glass, it has banked corners, a single goalie, and it says it was made in Italy. I have attached a photo (it is sitting on the floor because I had to move into the garage a couple of months ago and just never put the legs back on). Any help in identifying the table and an idea of it's value would be appreciated. Thanks.

Andy

I'm pretty sure that's a Rene Pierre. circa 1970's

I remember playing on these quite a bit in Lawrence Kansas while attending school. They have a glass top, really hard, marble-like foosballs that rocketed about the table when struck. The rectangular feet were pretty clumsy and the men are really light-weight. Those handles would almost fit into the palm of my hand. The spring bumpers made a loud clang and did not compress very well. I never saw one shatter.

I had a 3/4 pull shot that frightened the crap out of more frat boys than I can count. Me and the 29-year-old sophomore with huge forearms (from years of lifting those liter-sized glass beer mugs) and a wild look in his eyes that said "you mess with my goalie and I'll kill youi" (I was his goalie). We won a lot of beer, we did.
