Brunswick Corner Caps: Where Are They Made?

The Bronze Brunswick corner caps are made for Brunswick pool tables and others. They are available in sets of six pieces (4 corners and 2 sides) and are made of black textured plastic. Brunswick also sells complete kits of corner caps and hardware. These Bronze Brunswick corner caps are sought after by owners of the Brunswick Bristol II 8' pool table, which requires metal bronze or antique brass corner caps.

Brunswick Bristol II corner caps

The Brunswick Bristol II corner caps are made of metal bronze or antique brass. Brunswick only sells complete kits of corner caps and hardware, which can be expensive if you are only looking to replace one missing corner cap.

There are other options for purchasing individual replacement corner caps for the Brunswick Bristol II. For example, Thompson Sporting Goods offers a Brunswick Rail Caps Set, which includes four corners and two sides made of textured plastic in black. This could be a more cost-effective solution if you only need to replace one corner cap, as you will have extra parts for future use.

Another option is to explore second-hand or obsolete parts from older models. Some websites and forums may offer advice on where to find these parts or provide direct sales. It is worth noting that these parts may be harder to come by and may not be in the best condition, but they could provide a more affordable solution.

When considering replacement corner caps, it is important to ensure compatibility with your Brunswick Bristol II pool table. While the Brunswick Rail Caps Set from Thompson Sporting Goods is designed for multiple Brunswick models, it is always a good idea to double-check the dimensions and specifications to guarantee a proper fit.

In summary, while the official Brunswick corner caps kits provide a comprehensive solution, they may be excessive for your needs. Alternative options, such as the Thompson Sporting Goods set or second-hand parts, can offer more targeted solutions for replacing individual corner caps on your Brunswick Bristol II pool table.

Antique brass finish

The bronze Brunswick corner caps in question are likely to be made from brass that has been treated to achieve an antique finish. This process involves chemically treating the brass to darken it to a medium brown, while preserving the beauty of its gold undertones. The result is a rich, deep brown colour with golden undertones, designed to simulate aged brass.

The Brunswick corner caps, described as "metal bronze", likely underwent a similar process to achieve their antique brass finish. This treatment gives the caps a timeless look, as if they have been "around the block a few times".

It is worth noting that some antique brass items are made from solid brass, while others are plated or wrapped in a thin layer of brass. To determine if an item is solid brass, a magnet can be used; if there is a pull, it is brass-plated with iron or steel beneath, and if there is no pull, it is likely solid brass.
