How much did you end up paying for it?

Just curious, i'm thinking of selling mine.

Was a black plate originally, (Robert will verify this) I got a Green Plate put on (sad Celtic fan)
Originally just ash & ebony, i've just had 4 cocobolo splices with thin white veneers put on and finished off rounded at the butt (for some reason, this feels a lot stronger through the cue?) at a cost of £150
3/4 Butt
9mm tip
17-18 oz (not sure as weight doesnt bother me)
About 10 years old
Shaft is stiff as a poker.
ANYBODY ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I SHOULD CONSIDER SELLING THIS FOR????
Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi Mark ,

Just spoke to Robert for you and this cue could be between 15 and 20 years old . From the pics , i explained the font type and he said that it is from that period .

Hope that helps a little

Cheers

Neil

... is it a black plate or green ...

The colour of the writing is a clue

[Neil Taperell]

The colour of the writing is not a clue in this case , as Robert was not making different badged cues then .

As for it's worth i would not like to hazard a guess. Maybe ADR147 would be able to give you a figure .
