Well, of course you might sell it now I can't afford another cue. Is it a first edition (2 screws in the nameplate) or second (4 screws)? As an idea, at the moment there is one the bay at £225 (second edition) but I doubt it'll get that. Prob about £150 - £200 ish. ADR will give you a better idea.

heres one i just bought but its maple 1st edition i thought it was a good price in the end

[deant1982]

Works out to about £220. A good price for both buyer and seller at the moment. I was in discussion about these cues previously. They have fetched £250 a couple of years ago, but at the mo, they seem to be going for £150 - £200 for a second edition, so £220 for a first edition is good. Normally it would add about £50 on for a first edition over a second, which works out about right. (that is for an Ash or Maple).
A Hornbeam cue (early second edition) would be £200 - £250, as they are a bit rarer than the Ash/Maple, and a pear (early second edition) in good condition would go for anything started at about £300. (these prices were given to me by Andy Hunter when I asked about dads pear Cannon match, and I spoke with David Smith last Friday who recommended if dad was selling it, to start at £350 minimum)
Hope this helps.

I meant to ask when this was discussed before - roughly what date would my Hornbeam Cannon Match have been made?

This was in discussion about a Cannon Match cue.
Based on what Andy Hunter told me, the original cannon match cues (first and second edition) would have been made 1925 - 1940. Hornbeam, like pear wood is a pretty rare shaft choice, and I don't think (based on what I have researched) they were made for very long, as they were not too good for billiards, which the Cannon range were made for to start with. Pear wood was classed as a better cue for billiards, but hornbeam was "too stiff". Due to the difficulties in getting pear straight (and keeping it straight) it was dropped pretty quickly, where as Hornbeam was dropped for not being "whippy" enough. As an idea, I think hornbeam would be closer to 1925-1930. Again, I could be wrong, but I am simply going on what I have been told and found out myself.
It seems everyone that has ever owned a Cannon Match cue has made a point of saying how it is a good player though, irrespective of what wood it is made from.
