Mike Fearnly may be interested although I think the damage to the badge would put him off.

This must be one of the earliest examples of this cue.
To give some background, Harry Stevenson became financially linked with rival company Cox & Yeman in 1904 as a shareholder, and this company actively traded on his name, including producing a "Stevenson" cue under the Cox & Yeman brand.
There is no question of him having a parallel agreement with Burroughes & Watts, so this must have been produced some time shortly before, or after, Cox & Yeman went into administration, which is on record as being October 1908. Burroughes & Watts subsequently bought the whole assets of Cox & Yeman, but this was not until 1911, and their arrangement with Stevenson clearly pre-dates this, as we can see thanks to the information on this item.
Wonderful to have a dated cue which clearly marks the start of a production run.Comment
