So I bought this this weekend...
It is a 1923 Bruyere 151 bent billiard that according to Mr. Loring slotted bewteen the 120 and an LC in size and shape in its original incarnation in the early 20's. By the mid to late 20's the 151 bowl size was shortened and widened and the 120 was slightly increased to the prior size of the 151. The 151 appears to have disappeared by/during the 30's. I had been looking for a 120 for some time, and jumped on this when it came available (probably spent way too much, but hey, that's life, right?).
Let's see how this pans out.
This is also why I didn't bid on Harris' Barling
