Ames Billiard Room

[Steven]

Does anyone know what happened to the equipment when they closed?

Specifically, the light fixtures.

Just curious.

I don't know, but I do remember seeing one go through eBay a few years ago, reportedly one of the fixtures as seen in The Hustler from Ames. I do not think the seller was able to verify either if the fixture was "for the movie set" or an actual fixture from the poolroom, so I passed. Cool artifact if it really was from Ames, either way.

Wow! I can't believe you noticed that! Thanks for the response Steve.

I'm not sure they would be all that effective at reflecting light and they might even be ugly as hell in person but I would like to see a shade in person.

How did you come across the listing on ebay?
