CUE DESCRIPTION

K163

"BURROUGHS & WATTS"

CLUB CUE

Hand Spliced ~ Maccasser Butt ~ Ash Shaft ~ 57" Long ~ 10½mm Tip ~ Brass Ferrule ~ Weight 17oz. but is 17¾ozs.

THIS CUE IS A TWO-PIECE WHICH IN MY OPINION WAS ORDERED 'SPECIAL' BY A CUSTOMER AS THE JOINT IS ABSOLUTELY "BANG-ON" WITH REGARD TO THE GRAIN IN THE SHAFT AND THE AGE OF THE JOINT. BURROUGHS & WATTS PRIDED THEMSELVES ON TOP QUALITY GOODS AND WOULD NOT LET A CUE OUT OF THE FACTORY WITH ANY JOINT OUT OF LINE.

THE BALANCE POINT OF THIS CUE IS ½" ABOVE FRONT SPLICE.

NICE CUE TO HANDLE FOR SOMEONE WHO LIKES A HEAVIER CUE AND THE CONVENIENCE OF A TWO-PIECE.

K164

"SPORTS
&
PASTIMES"

BRADFORD

Machine Spliced ~ Ebony Butt ~ Maple Shaft ~ 58" Long ~ 11mm Tip ~ No Ferrule ~ Weight marked 16oz. but is 16½ozs.

RARE CUE WITH THIS BADGE ~ IDEAL FOR A COLLECTOR.

NICE CLEAN CUE ~ THIS HAS BEEN IN SAME OWNERS HANDS SINCE BEING BOUGHT NEW.

K165

"THURSTON & Co LTD"

LONDON

Hand Spliced ~ Ebony Butt ~ Pear Shaft ~ 55¾" Long ~ 9½mm Tip ~ Brass Ferrule ~ Weight marked 15½ozs but is 14¾ozs.

THIS IS A NICE CLEAN CUE TO PLAY WITH ~ IT HAS A NICE SET OF 'ROYAL COAT OF ARMS' & 'PRINCE OF WALES FEATHERS' EMBLEM ~ VERY MUCH LIKE "K129 & K166" ~~ THEY USUALLY WEAR OFF. ~~ circa 1880's

THE USING OF THE ABOVE 'EMBLEMS' INDICATE THAT THEY WERE SUPPLIERS OF BILLIARD CUES AND EQUIPMENT TO THE "DUKE OF YORK".

THE CUE HAS BEEN FITTED WITH A SMALLER TIP THAN ORIGINAL AND HAS BEEN TAPERED TO MATCH – THE TOP 8" OF THE CUE IS SLIGHTLY LIGHTER IN SHADE, HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT DETRACT FROM HOW IT PLAYS.

K166

"THURSTON & Co LTD"

LONDON

Hand Spliced ~ Ebony Butt ~ Ash Shaft ~ 57½" Long ~ 10mm Tip ~ Brass Ferrule ~ Weight marked 16ozs.

AGAIN A NICE CLEAN CUE ~ 'ROYAL COAT OF ARMS' & 'PRINCE OF WALES FEATHERS' EMBLEM LIKE ~ "K129 & K165" ~~ THEY USUALLY WEAR OFF. ~~ circa 1880's

THE USING OF THE ABOVE 'EMBLEMS' INDICATE THAT THEY WERE SUPPLIERS OF BILLIARD CUES AND EQUIPMENT TO THE "DUKE OF YORK".

THE CUE HAS BEEN FITTED WITH A SMALLER TIP THAN ORIGINAL AND HAS BEEN TAPERED TO MATCH – THE TOP 15" OF THE CUE IS SLIGHTLY LIGHTER IN SHADE, HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT DETRACT FROM HOW IT PLAYS.

K168

"NO NAME"

Hand Spliced ~ Ebony Butt fitted with new Ebony Front Splice & Red Veneer ~ Ash Shaft ~ 58" Long ~ 11mm Tip ~ Brass Ferrule ~ Weight marked 17ozs.

THIS CUE HAD A DAMAGED BUTT WHEN IT CAME IN ~ SINCE BEING REFURBISHED IT HAS MADE A GOOD PLAYING CUE.

AGEING NICELY TO A RICH DARK BROWN.

K169

E. J. RILEY

TOMBSTONE

JOE DAVIES
105
BREAK

Hand Spliced ~ Ebony Butt ~ Birds Eye Maple Front Splice ~ Ash Shaft ~ 57.25" Long ~ 10mm Tip ~ Brass Ferrule ~ Weight 16¾ozs.

THIS CUE HAS HAD A NEW FRONT 'BIRDS EYE MAPLE' SPLICE FITTED ~ IT IS DEEPER THAN THE ORIGINAL SPLICES THAT WERE FITTED TO THIS TYPE OF CUE ~ THEREFORE, THE BUTT WAS ~ (a) DAMAGED ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE REPLACED BY A DEEPER SPLICE OR – (b) IT WAS NEVER A TOMBSTONE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND HAS BEEN MADE TO LOOK LIKE ONE.

PERSONALLY I BELIEVE IT TO BE (a) OWING TO THE AGE AND CONDITION OF THE SHAFT + THE NAMEPLATE HAS BEEN CUT OUT AND FITTED EXTREMELY WELL.

WHATEVER THE CASE IT HAS MADE A REALLY NICE CUE WITH A DARK ASH GRAIN SHAFT ~ IT'S STIFF AND PLAYS WELL.

THE PRICE OF THIS CUE REFLECTS ITS UNCERTAINTY.

K170
