Walter Lindrum Cue

[tomeestrings]

Anybody seen that really nice Walter Lindrum cue on ebay ?? Start price of £650 Seems a bit steep for a genuine cue badge though ??:chargrined:

Yeah too steep that, i bought one a short while ago on behalf of my mate who didn't have funds at the time, no one else bid against me lol, a while ago these were £450 easily

Yeah but that badge clearly didnt start life on that cue !!!!

[jrc750]

Who knows lol
Looks really nice in the flesh, it's been at Craftsman's this week getting re ferruled and a touch of weight added, together with a clean up, should come back a decent player

Yeah wasn't sure which cue you meant lol, i was talking about one i got, just looked at the one on ebay now and yeah your right, that badge doesn't look suited to the cue

[tomeestrings]

Thank god for that lol , last thing I wanted to do was slag a members cue off !!! Just out of curiosity what kind of dosh will you get charged for re-ferrule and a full furb ?? Regards Tom .

[jrc750]

£10 for re ferrule & tip, £10 for re weighting, not sure on clean up, can't see it being more than £35 in total.
As i said earlier my mate bought it (with my money lol), came with original fibre ferrule but was cracked, so being swopped for a brass one

Postage to add on as well, altho he took it down himself, couldn't do it while he waited so will be posted back

Thats decent money , not that its a big job !!! I was curious because I restored Antiques for 30 yrs And I am gearing up for cues now but only for beer vouchers lol

Hi Mike, how's things ??
I'm confused again lol, are you saying the one i bought (well for my mate) isn't quite right too ??

[tomeestrings]

The cue on ebay is a 2 piece cue , which in my opinion makes its value circa £100 however as a marriage , half that !!! And that is for the badge !!! I have a cue the badge would look great on !!! lol

You buy so many I'm not sure! Certainly one of the lindrums if they came from Phil has/had a replacement badge - pretty sure he told me he might still have the original faded one somewhere when I was there. Got the impression he's had a fair few badges from him too, not doubting the originality of the rest of the cues tho.

I have 2 from Phil, the '29 badge has been touched up/maybe replaced by Glover
