The Mystery Tube Case!!!!

[jrc750]

My guess is a Burroughes and Watts machine spliced cue with ebony butt and round disc badge

[DG GIBERT]

its that Sheridon

[rdr]

It could be full of rolled up £1 notes

[Stupree]

its that Sheridon

Oh what I would give for that cue back!

Really Jim! Was Gordon a cuemaker too as I've only ever heard of Nick in relation to cues?

It hasn't been until I've been trying to replace that cue that I have realised just how nicely made it was

Well back home from my NYE road trip and picked up the B&W Norfolk cue as expected and also the exciting mystery case.

Before the unveiling I must state that as far as I am concerned I am quids in on this purchase, not only did I pick up a reasonable period cue and original case for very little money I also had the chance to meet a lovely gentleman who shared some of his story with me and showed me a picture of him playing with this very cue in a London Shipping Snooker League final in 1966. Let's not forget about the mystery case too.

Cues are beautiful things in their own right but add the nostalgia and memories that cues evoke for people and you get something special! I'm a sucker for a story!!

Now on to uveiling the cues...

Can you guess which one I didn't have the key to???





The B&W Norfolk Cue



Not sure yet the shaft material as it needs a bit of a clean up


The Mystery Case Cue



Unbadged, ash shafted, handspliced ebony butt with green veneer and dark wood front splice


The spoils of my NYE road trip, £28 of my money, a little time and some petrol.

Cheers!

I popped the catch on the case by twisting the padlock John, it wasn't a tough decision in the end as I am a very lazy man

[RGCirencester]

I wasn't too far off

[Stupree]

I want far off

Pretty much spot on Rob, I would have been delighted if it was a pearwood shaft but it appears to be good old hornbeam.

Congrats you should be receiving your warm fuzzy feeling anytime soon mate
