Sidney Smith Handspliced 1947-48 cue

[Burwat Champ]

Fantastic cue ADR.

Just goes to show no matter how many cues I had in my collection and no matter how many cues in other peoples collections I saw the world of cues still manages to throw a few surprises at you.

I once picked up a Peall cue with a Rosewood butt and fibre ferrule, I had doubts over it authenticity as nobody I knew had seen one but I got it anyway.

I then went on to find it was a commemorative cue that was only made for a short period due to the fact that they were not selling.

it also shows its still possible to buy a rare cue for a sensible price!

a lad who goes in the local club has just bought the same one for about £30 but i dont think he realises its worth a lot more than that

you are sure its hand spliced? - i think if i were going to sell this one i would want £200

[warren132]

Id say it would fetch 140 to 160 pounds.

just shows you what i know....

[ADR147]

Id say it would fetch 40 to 60 pounds.

for a hand spliced smith cue - i will buy any you have for sale at that money!

[Burwat Champ]

I sold a machine spliced 47-48 for £125 so if I had one I wouldnt let a hand spliced go for under £200.

The 47-48 cue was rare enough as a machine spliced cue due to the fact it was only in production for a year, but a hand spliced version is like rocking horse poo!!

i agree - must be worth at least £200 of anyones money.
