eBay Old JP Mannock Pearwood (and case)

[narl]

Had this a while now when I was thinking about starting a little collection, but seeing it just gather dust is making me want to move it on. At some point the face splice was damaged and from what I was told Tony Glover repaired it, the tulip wood on the front face splice is a bit darker than the other 3 splices of tulipwood. has a pretty old weight stamp on it as well with the "oz" being above the numbers, and the numbers font also looks a bit unusual, near sure I remember reading somewhere Burroughes and Watts only used the "oz" above the numbers till sometimes in the early-mid 1920's before putting the OZ beneath the numbers. The butt also has a strange shape, being angled instead of flat at the bottom which I've never seen before.

Surprised to see it on ebay for that price so soon, I can't see it getting that much though, seen a few go for around £250 ish.

I was thinking it was worth about £200 given it had had some work.

Noticed someone seemed to have forgotten to mention it having any "work" done on it..

I get it all the time, I sold a cue around 6 months ago for £30 (low price as it was correctly described), which then appeared immediately back on eBay for £120 bets offer (no mention of anything not being original), it sold for £90 ironically to someone who often runs his new purchases past me to get their history - not amused when I passed on the correct history of that cue.

he has hardly had time to get it out of the tube and apply chalk, i am not that quick and getting cues ready to sell that i have bought and it's my job! Very ambitious pricing at 425 i would say. £300 ono he would have made a fast £50.

The Cats going nowhere

Doesn't bother me that he's trying to make a few quid on it, Im sure most cues go that way to some extent. Just surprised at how fast it was on the bay.
