Wow! Just wow! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F382763327281

Edit: to me it looks like a Britannia ebony cue going by 3/4 joint with an awful fake Parris badge lol

thanks for that, yep the name plate does show what you say; model names are trickier

[100-uper]

what make and model do you think the table is?
not been able to pin it down

Also not found any reference to a Fred Cosst.

The table is Burroughes & Watts. The plate is not easy to see from the photo, but if the vendor included a close up I believe it would say "Patent Eureka Groove Extra Low Fast Cushions. By Special Appointment to his Majesty King Edward VII" hence the date of 1901-10. I've not seen a model name given to this design, although it probably had one at the time.

The scoreboard must be worth around £500, so not a bad price.

Never knew scoreboards are so expensive.

these scoreboards are difficult to value, they have been very expensive in the years past but dont seem to get this sort of money anymore.

Here is one that was sold and was larger, more complete and refurbished:

Interesting that the scoreboard is earlier (pre-1891) than the table (1901-10) so must have been collected separately by the present owner. Fred Cosst is not on my radar, so I assume he is modern.

Thanks 100-uper, I tried Googling Fred but found no details at all.

Oooh! You could enjoy a nice frame or two with yer Aunty Mable on this table!

Jokes on cloth aside, it's a lovely old table and I love the little plaque with the renovators details. I wonder if anyone on here knew of him?

A very similar antique B&W life pool scoreboard wanting £600.

Or Orme & sons one for less ( in estimate ) , but auction costs can soon add up.
