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.
Have this table new in open box that I am selling if anyone is interested.
