Essential Cue Collection list

[jrc750]

...P.S definitely not one of those H.Nelmes & Co club cues you see knocking about.. they're gash.

Seriously mate, i posted a thread asking for help on the subject matter and recieved one or two POSITIVE quotes on the cue. ...when u ask for help u get a sarcastic comment which does nothing for the users of this forum...

I dont think Mike (perpetualboredom) was being sarcastic mate, it was meant to be a joke, if you look at his own collection http://www.oldcues.co.uk/index.php?id=allcues
he knows his onions when it comes to old cues - and would (i hope ) agree your H Nelmes & Co cue is indeed very rare (the pics are even rarer it seems, where's your mate who was going to put them on )

fair enough, i was the same until about 6 months ago lol, could always do certain things very well, but anything new or a bit different i was shouting for my son

JRC probably has them all already....lol....but as he says a Burroughes & Watts Burwat Champion as a tribute to the Hurricane....

others for me would be

A Ye Olde Ash - First Edition
JP Mannock
Any early John Parris Cue doesn't matter which model really
An Old Hunt & O'Byrne
An Aeon Cue ( the limited edition individually numbered cue.....rare these )
The Classic Custom Cue that Jimmy White had of Alex Higgins, one of the first 3/4 jointed cues Jimmy did great things with that.
A Mac Chambers Cue
One Of Tony Glovers Replicas.....

That would be a nice little collection.............

the 3/4 jimmy white cue that alex gave him is now owned by a guy in london called colin gill,

Judging by the name of the thread I'm sure you've already seen Dave Smith's article on the subject. In term of non current generation it says it all.

[old school]

What about playing devils advocate.Modern cues that may become classics e.g. an early Parris,an early H&O,a Robin,a N.W.an Aurora,a Shelton,a Deroo,a T.W. or a Wooldridge custom.I am sure other makers are worthy but isnt the intrinsic value/worth of a cue, subject to your own personal viewpoint .Perhaps this could be another thread.

[Burwat Champ]

All the old name cues as I call them, Tom Reece, Peal, Willie Smith, Claude Faulkiner, George Gray, Walter Donaldson, Lindrum etc..

Then the real rarities such as Madame Strebor or the pre 100 break Joe Davis cues.

More modern cues would be parris postcode cue, original black plate Hunt & Obyrne, the limited edition cue made by Robin Cook & Dave Couts, Geet Sethi cue or one of the Mike Hallet cues by Glover cues I think they made 2 in 1993?

And the one I would really like to get my hands on Joe Davis's actual playing cue which I believe is in the possession of Thustons in Liverpool.

Has anybody seen a George Chenier cue????
