New Load of #1 Antique Heart Pine Timbers
We just received 12,000 board feet of gorgeous antique heart pine timbers from the Brunswick-Balke-Collander Company circa 1884.
This mill was built in 1884 in Chicago and served as the largest billiard equipment manufacturer in the world.
There were other businesses in the plant and the entire history of it is in the above link.
These timbers range from 6" x 8" up to 8" x 16" and lengths up to 25'.
If you back date the age of the building and count the rings in these old-growth timbers you will find that these timbers are 400 - 600 years old.
We've got 12,000 board feet of them that will become decorative timbers, mantels, floating shelves, custom tables, flooring and millwork and more.
BRUNSWICK-BALKE-COLLENDER COMPANY HISTORY
BRUNSWICK-BALKE-COLLENDER COMPANY. By 1884, Brunswick a Chicago-based company, joined with rivals to become “The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company,” the largest billiard equipment operation in the world, larger than all its competitors combined. Expansion of the product line included elaborate and ornate front and back bars made of rich woods, flawless mirrors, and stained glass.
Originally offered as special order items, these items developed such demand that in 1911 a new factory was built in Dubuque, Iowa. Work began in June and when completed the plant encompassed 35 acres. The property was conveyed by the CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN RAILROAD from land which had been used for division terminals in the city. Brunswick agreed to construct a building costing at least $150,000 of which &75,000 was to be given by the DUBUQUE INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION. The company also agreed to hire five hundred male employees the first year. (1) Brunswick insisted that those employed belong to the union affiliated with the line of work for which they were hired. By January 1913 the company hoped to have 1,000 workers. (2)
