"Morcues" was the trademark of MacMorran cues which was a major manufacturer in the 1930s and 1940s based in Primrose Hill, London. They were bought out by Peradon in the late 1940s.

Some more info can be found here http://www.normanclare.co.uk/peradon.html

Just to add, if anybody has any of these for sale, I'd be interested in buying. I'm a keen player and have a connection with the site of the old factory where these were made!

Thanks.
