These were VERY VERY old Keith, from the start of the last Century.
From what I was told, they were original Mannocks made before the design was sold onto B&W and had the name badge with 'Registered' placed on it.
The script was slightly different also, with a definite variation on the signature you see on the later Mannocks, from about 1905 onwards....I think.
I thought the original design was Mannock's and his cues were made as his design. No? I'm sure I read his patent on cues 'n' views and it specified the machine- and hand-spliced butt. Am I wrong or do I just not have all the elements in hand?
