Spotted on eBay

This one seems to be in pretty bad shape, still 5 bids already
Who wants to guess how much it will end in the end?

Wouldn't be surprised if it still went to ?350

Needs some serious restoration on that butt.

That badge gives me the fear.

John Parris would not have fitted a personalised badge like that , a bit iffy if you ask me .

The joint looks ok but that badge has been done by an apprentice novice.

The chevrons don't line up with the flat, could be he didn't tighten it up enough but that would put me off.

it's already up to ?200, 3 days to go still, i suspect the buyer will have to spend a amount to have it fixed too, it really looks pretty bad on the pictures.

That one with the bad badge and butt went up to ?270.
in the meantime a new one appeared on ebay, looks a bit suspicious if you ask me, badge that high up and round butt, what do you experts think?

round butt - not common but known
high badge - unusual but known

Maybe they were trying to replicate Jimmy's H&O cue midway through it's transformation?

Ok Dean, probably sold now, i see it's not longer available, wasn't interested anyway, i got plenty, just wondered because it looks different.
Strange also that this #1130 seemed to be the so called 'red glue' model and my 1186 isn't.

He most have switched around that time.
I wonder how many actually leave the shop each year in total, all models.

JP did change glue around this time (~2006/7) yes, but there was not a clean divide in the numbers though

There was a similar cue badged Ultimate 1170 up for sale for ?8k recently alleged to be Jimmy's cue but I'm told thats it's not

[DeanH]

I have heard that 1170 was Jimmy's cue and it went to China when he sold it.

Think it was ADR who to me the above.

[Delphi]

1170?

[DeanH]
