Wanted - Ye Olde Ash Cue

[jim evans]

umm in theory, in reality they were pretty expensive new so were looked after and not forgotten, same reason there are not really parris cues turning up in working mens clubs.

i agree about it in reality, there was also a war were lots of blokes died and the cues could have been locked away also,but if they did make a 1st ed for say half of the period pre 1944 thats approx 14-15 yrs at say 100 cues a yr so there might be up to 1000 1st ed yoa about,then some might have been destroyed in the war,so there might be realisticly 800 surviving yoa out there ,makes you think

i would be surprised if there were more than 200 red shafted first edition made in total.

audit of ye old ash

think we should have a audit,how many people can say they know where a ye old ash 1st edition his

Can you tell me a little bit more about what a Tony Ions replica is? How many of them do you think are out there?

Tony Ions created some very nice replicas that had a lovely aged shaft with similar characteristics to the real thing, the cues were badged Newcastle and I think he used ash reclaimed from a derelict church. The last one I saw was maybe through here a couple of years ago, listed by either Jason or 'Platt'. Nice cue and would be good to be familiar with the replica weight stamp so as not to need to pester ADR & others with the "is it genuine question"

Must be pretty odd looking cues to see in the flesh, seen a couple of pics of one and it looks weird enough through those.
