Burroughes & Watts Billiard, Snooker Score Board, Life Pool, Ball Cabinet.
A nice combined billiards and life pool scoreboard made of mahogany by Burroughes & Watts. The billiard scorer sits upon a lockable ball cabinet that can house 34 balls. The scorer comprises of two white rollers with black painted numbers, 0 to 20 / 20 to 40 / 40 to 60 / 60 to 80 / 80 to 100, with two wooden slides to mark your score, one spot and one plain. The Life Pool board consists of 8 slides with coloured discs, each colour representing the player's cue ball and the order of play. The colours being white, red, yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and spot white. When each slide is pulled back 3 mother-of-pearl discs are revealed, one for each life of the player. There are also "stars" hiding, and these are used as extra lives. In the middle of the scoreboard there is a slate board for keeping scores etc.
The game of Life Pool can be played by a number of players, a maximum of 8 players with this scoreboard, who form the pool. Each player has their own coloured ball and loses a life each time the ball is potted by an opponent. When three lives are lost an extra life can be purchased, this is represented by the 'star'. This can be done up to 3 times before the player finally has to leave the game.
As you can see from the images the scoreboard and ball cabinet can be hung together or separately.

Scoreboard size = 19 ¾" high, 35¼" wide and 3½" deep.
Ball cabinet size = 6½" high, 40" wide and 6" deep.
