H.Nelmes & Co. Ash cue, help needed

[bigbreak]

I would love to know the clubs you hang around bud?, 16 veneers and splices on a cue thats rare, check out the bbc archives, from a maker that built quality tables used in professional games that also made billiard rooms for the snooker. Compared to burroghes and watts that are regularly on ebay. Im not sayin the cue is worth thousands although how do you put a price on a rare cue from a reputable maker with the amount of work carried out on it? Has anyone else got a cue from these makers and if so please post some pictures and lets see how rare they are? The cue I have has now been sent to dave coutts to have a new ferrule and talisman soft pro tip, re-grained and polished to bring it somewhat to its former glory. "Reputable" people on this forum have stated that the cue is worth from 120- 150 pounds?

David Smith may still have a "Wellington" Champion cue:-

l have my father's H. Nelmes & Co cue, custom made in 1953 with original tin case with his initials on the case. Over the years the case has got a bit beating up but here is a photo of the case label. l have tried to clean it up and l had the label reprinted on vinyl with additional text added to it. l now have the cue in a regular 1 piece black tubular case with this label on it.

if there is anyone wanting one of these vinyl stickers for their cue case just send a S.A.E to me. Just cut off the text below the company logo. There is no charge for the sticker. PM me at robertpool@hotmail.com
