Cue Catalogues and Adverts

[ebonynivory]

Similar to most people on this forum. I have an interest in cues and also information about cues and catalogues. I have collected a few from the late 80’s early 90’s and would be interested if any of the forum members had any to share. I will kick off with a Hunt and O’Bryne letter and photo from circa 87/88. Any others would be wonderful to share

Not sure if this is of any interest, but I managed to track down the cue used by Darran Lock who is the Break from Life guy who has a YouTube channel. He's uses a Frank Callan 100 series cue.

Amazing Dean. It’s a nice hobby to have these to look at now and again. I will post a few more images up as I go. Off the top of my head I have:

Anthony Bridge Catalogue
Barracuda
Black and White cues
The Cue Man (before Mike Wooldridge used his own name on cues)
Cue Craft
Craftsman Cues

These are mainly from the 80’s and 90’s when I first started playing Snooker.

cheers

[garysnooker]

dean can you post images up of the Powerglide cues

[ebonynivory]

2 pages regarding Black and White cues from the 90’s. There was one of these for sale on eBay maybe 12 months ago. I don’t know how well these played. They did the rounded butt like Hunt and O’Bryne.

Here is a three page marketing brochure from Craftsman Cues in Leeds. Nice selection of hand and machine spliced cues.

ebonynivory - I'd be keen to see a scan of the Barracuda catalogue, please?

Hi Jim,

I will upload in 2 parts. As there is a limit of 5 images per post

ebonynivory - I see you are using the vBulletin attachment function, please note this is very hard to manage, is very restrictive and has a limit that you may hit very soon. Hence we/I tend to promote using image-sharing sites such as ImgBB instead where you wont have any of those issues.
