Wow thats exactly the same as mine, except i have 2 screws in the top and bottom of the butt plate.
They are gorgeous arent they

[potter]

Hi Snookster, yes they are so attractive to see these cues. An absolute must, for any serious cue collection!

Absolutely gorgeous that mate, i have a similar one but in maple with 2 screws in the badge BUT in a lot worse condition than yours (splices separated slightly, altho still solid, and a bit of wood filler on butt)

[potter]

Yes, I've noticed that some had 2 screws in a line, in the middle of the badge, and some didn't.

Nice little collection you got going there jrc750, some old and some new.

A great and beautiful master piece..

All the best mate

Very beautiful cue kept in excellent condition.
What is written on that circular badge?

[potter]

@ poolqjunkie, the smaller round badge is worn smooth, or has possibly been left blank. I believe that they sometimes put the initials of the purchaser on this badge, prior to collection of their new cue.

I have three of these , but in rather poor condition . all snake wood with badges with the 2 screws intact , 2 of them i would think are worth spending a bit on to bring back to life , but the third the spliceing has come apart ,the badges must be worth at least £30 each . though so looking for offers for the three , i allso have a joe davies 135 break toombstone badged riley machine splice in poor condition , but again badge is complete with three screws in it .

Add a few pics Geoff and ime sure you will get offers

[Geoff Large]

I will photo a few , I am off work with flu at the moment , so just having 1/2 hour on PC now and again to break boredom of being in bed all day ,

I have a guy coming around to look at the remaining 50 cues that I still have from my old collection .
I am going to give him first refusal on any cues he likes , he has allready bought two cue's from me so only fair if he is making the journey to have first choice .

there is a fair few cues there is some hand spliced some machine spliced , some with name plates some without but here is a list of a few , I will add pictures later if not sold .

riley joe davies toombestone 135 break
riley toombstone snake wood x 3
George Wright = old billiard butted cue in great condition must be oldest cue I have with some wonderfull spliceing .
Horace lindrum club round badge
horace lindrum piscture badge
Herbert holt with upper transfer
Sidney lee square badge
joe davies 147
permac round badge
permac maori faced badge x 2
j s hopkin badged cue pre 1938 x 3
Elston & Hopkin round badge x 2
orme billiard butt
A three section spliceing cue much like jp mannock but all hand spliced even top most spliceings

I have other hand spliced cues without badges , but I have 70 of original J.S.Hopkin round plate badges pre 1938 to put with any cue . these are not copy but original and saved from a skip at work when we moved premises at Newark street Nottingham .

[Geoff Large]

I Sold all the Hand spliced cues as a job lot to a guy from birmingham . this solved posting them out as he came over to inspect and collected and we where both pleased with price .
The rest will be photo'd and put on ebay in batches of 4 or 5 cues , but all are now machine spliced that are left , but would make nice rack fillers of period cue's .
so will list on here when I list them on ebay .
