Spotted on eBay

Need to get on to Stephen Bill, there was me thinking I got his spare cues to sell.

Another Maguire cue ? Really ?

I may be totally wrong , but just looks like someone has got a case signed, then chucked a woods 2 star cue in it.

I usually switch off when a description of a cue starts with " The cue , well what can I say"


Any thoughts ?

LOL, that beginning's got to be stolen from the clangers ?

I've asked the seller. Maybe bad form, as he's trying to sell a £500+ ( maybe ) cue, but

I'll see what comes back. .

I wonder what the story behind the shark fin cue case is ? Dean ?

are you sitting back comfortably? ... we shall begin...
once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a soup maker, and one day he sat there looking at the pile of shark fin skins left over...

Lesson learnt.. A good read

[DeanH]

Good stuff, so I was close calling it the equivalent to postcode parris cue ?

not a bad analogy with the relative timescales.

[billabong]

"MAST CUES" in the middle ("Hand Made In Wales" around the top/bottom) are supposedly very early cues from TW (1990s) and had a very different font and thickness than all the others to follow, and the badge colour does appear to be different to the modern ones but that could be the photos.
Then went to MAST around the top, WALES around the bottom and various words in the middle:
the ones I have seen were "Custom Built", "Champion Cue", "Legend Cue", "Premier Cue", "Maximum Cue" "Odyssey Cue" and "Match Cue".
These are around mid90s-early2000s. Then the MAST stopped approx. 2006, the "Trevor White Hand Made" badges that we all love took over.

Nice history lesson Dean
Looks like a nice cue to me, just a very expensive one tho

It just looks off... From the mast cues I've seen, usually Mast is on the outside ring rather than centre. The material used for the badge is also clearly different to the majority that have been up for sale. Not saying it's definately fake, but a bit odd

[billabong]

maybe ? would it be cos all the others shown by JRC were custom made Mast and this one is just standard Mast ? maybe

No they weren't. Two said "custom built" in the middle, the other said " premier cue", again, in the middle.
