[jim evans]

[CueAntW147]

If its Peradon you mean the Tom Newman 1370 Facsimile Cue

[jim evans]

Yes that's the one is there another kind

[CueAntW147]

Well the others i can think of are the Tom Newman 1024 Facsimile Cue & Tom Newman 1274 Facsimile Cue but these are Burroughes & Watts not Peradon, the one your after has the ebony butt & paduke splice and Peradon do the Tom Newman 1370 Champion cue in same design but it's not a Facsimile this one.

Isn't Shaun Murphy's cue a Newman 1370 with snake wood front splice?

Well with cues there's always exceptions to the rule, and we've probably still not seen everything yet, not sure about Shauns for sure but it was re worked by Rodney Hinde and think Shaun said once the snake wood splice was added then.

[jim evans]

looks like ile have to start saving wouldn't mind them all unless anybody as one and wants a cue making as a swop lol

From an interview on Eurosport, Murphy's cue is a Burroughes&Watts Tom Newman 1370, approx. 1930s, bought for him by his dad for 15th birthday from Rodney Hinde (who added a Thuya burr front splice and I think a butt joint). Supposedly the cue was used by Ray Reardon in the 60/70s.

[not sure about the butt joint as I am sure I have seen Shaun use a push in extension]

[ADR147]

not sure without checking but i think the cue is a bit earkier than that - break is 1924 i think. give me a shout jim.

Estimate from the "over 80 yrs old" comment from the interview. Better estimate would be welcome
