eBay ****Hunt & O'bryne Black Plate****

[mattyshinobi22]

******SOLD*******

Not long purchased, was gonna save it for collecting but cash shortages force sale.

Was originally made for Tony Meo in the 1980's.

just been back from dave coutts who has altered tip from 11mm to a 10mm.
also altered the weight to 18 onz. which are much better playable snooker specs.

he has given it a full clean, polish and re oiled. looks brand new

Since Dave is now in contact with Will Hunt he has got a letter of authenticity for the cue, stating when made and who for etc with his signature.

serious offers

Pls advise lenght, butt diameter and shaft thickness 9 inches below the ferrule?

[mattyshinobi22]

sorry, length is 57 inches and a quarter and butt diamter is 29mm. sorry dont know about shaft thickness i dont have any calipers

[jack_dougles]

hi
is shaft flex stiff or whippy, also when weight adjusted was it reduced to 18 ounces or increased

regards colin

[mattyshinobi22]

id say stiff with little give, dave informs me that it was lead weight in the butt, so some was taken out. so weight was reduced

[warren132]

With all that ebony i would not have thought there would be any need for lead ! The cue should have been natural'y heavy anyway.

A friend of mine has an H&O maple black plate. It's about 20 years old and has that beautiful aged look to it.

Have you got any photos since the work was done? Also where is the balance point on the cue?

[mattyshinobi22]

sorry for some late replies, but cue now sold. thanks for all interest

[Plumbdoctor]

Yes I see the difference Andrew - mine has a much longer screw coupling as well, it's never the less a very good cue, I will not part with it, probably not even for £1k given it's history and the length of time I've owned it.
