The Brunswick Balke Collender Co. Pool Trade Check: J.A. Leach GF12 1/2cIT. Maverik token. Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. was incorporated in 1907 but Brunswick was making billiard tables as early as 1848. The company expanded to make wooden back bars, bowling pins and bowling balls and when prohibition hit, the company switched gears and started making car tires. In 1922, Brunswick-Balke-Collender started producing records under the Brunswick name. Some of the artists on the Brunswick label included Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, and Benny Goodman [library.hbs.edu]. Although this is a great example of a Brunswick piece, it is a maverick. We have not been able to find the proprietor in census records to definitively attribute this token.
