That is because you are new to the site, I believe the waiting time is one week to post pics.

I remember seeing those nice walnut Drueke chess in the USCF calalog back in the late 70s/early 80s. I used to keep those catalogs and kept looking at those tables, at about $300 (if I recall) they were out of my price range then. Those tables were drool worthy, especially the deluxe model with the 6" border all away around. The only criticism is even the deluxe model could stand to be a little wider with an extra 3" on each side for chess clock/pieces/etc. I wish I had bought one though!
Another thing I lusted after in those USCF catalogs were the Jaques sets they sold. It was out of my league price wise at $400. Looks like a deal now! My wife did buy me one of those original French Lardy sets from USCF for Christmas one year. I think they were about $30-40 then. I'll never sell it! What a deal considering they stopped making the original years ago.

ddm2232 has sent me the photos of the Drueke open box table that he/she is selling. I'm just helping pass the photos along as ddm2232 doesn't have rights just yet to post the pics. Hope this helps folks who may be interested in buying one as it's a good opportunity. Good luck!
Nice to see this pop up again...Good God! That table is gorgeous!
If you can't find a drueke table, then look for a dreuke ;-) It's not mine😇

Nice. I like wooden wind-up clock. Nice touch.
Now write down your moves with a fountain pen, and you can pretend you're back in time 150 years ago, like out of the pages of The Age of Innocence.
Crane (paper company that makes paper for money) makes those old school, unlined, thick cotton paper. for typewriters.
Use a Bic pen that's dry (or take out the ink) and a ruler to scour the paper as lines.
Now, you come out of The Age of Innocence.
Oh, if at night, play under candle light. Or one those kerosene lamps.
Invite your friends over in a horse driven carriage.
Kick it old-school.
Have this table new in open box that I am selling if anyone is interested.
