Borroughes and Watts Ye Olde Ash cue

[spugs]

I have recently inherited a Ye Olde Ash cue, I think it was bought between 1925 and 1930 and the badge says Newcastle upon Tyne tho' B&W say they have no knowledge of any such cue which I found odd as there are pictures of such cues on the net. I have joined the forum hoping to fill in the blanks in my knowledge. The cue belonged to my father who passed it on to his son in law who has passed it back to me so I know it is the genuine article.
Cheers Spugs

Is the shaft of the cue quite a red colour ??? Any pics ???
If so and it is genuine you have struck gold, don't go selling it too cheap, it could be worth very big money

[jrc750]

Ohh by the way the B&W you contacted are not the same people

Yes it is quite dark for ash, I also have the original case but have ordered a new one as the metal is dented and I wanted to keep the condition as good as possible.
New to this site how do I post pictures, sorry

What is BIG money? Sent pics to be posted

[old school]

The Burroughs & Watts who made your cue was wound up as a company around 1967 .The Sutton Coldfield B & W has no connection , whatsoever. Good examples of Ye Olde Ashe fetch very good money , 1st Editions because of their rareity and 2nd Editions owe some measure of popularity to being associated with Steve Davis . Nice playing cues in their own right though . Type " Ye Olde Ash " in the advanced search box , top right of the page and enjoy the read.

Jim, if you can open the pics - press 'Ctrl', 'Alt' and 'Prt Sc' and then paste into paint. Save as a jpeg.
