I remember that table!! The first time my husband and I stopped at Sharkey's was in 2001, when Sharkey was still alive. He talked to us for a few minutes, and warmly encouraged us to explore the place and take all the pictures that we wanted. He had one of his employees clear the chip table so we could take a picture of it . I'm glad no one was dining on it at the time!

Sharkey is the one on the left
