LOL - if it is full length and in original condition it would be worth more than that perhaps.

Don't put on a new ferrule/tip (like I just saw on an ebay listing on another rare old cue) as it reduces the value.

The photos were sent to Jim Evens above.

The length is 58" tip is 10mm

Do you want to sell it?

[paddybhoy30]

If you were selling i think ebay would be the way to go.

Not at the moment maybe in future when I have done more research.

[jrc750]

If you want to sell it, i'll open the bidding at £600

[paddybhoy30]

If it is a first edition in good nick you can probably treble that.

What do you want to know??

I was told as a kid that the wood came from one of Nelsons ships that had been sunk in Trafalgar brought up and soaked in oil for 40years. As the wood would never warp it was made into cues and tables by Burroughes and Watts. As my father was a very serious man not given to fantacy I do believe him but would like confirmation also how many cues were made and still exist.

Here are the pics . . .







Can you take a pic of the butt end (so we can see if it has been drilled or not), weight stamp and tip please?

Thanks!

Best to send an email to 'the cue collector' (google it) and he will tell you more!

It has been drilled, the weight stamp is 16 1/2

Why cant I post pics. I dont have this 'user control' box??

Even drilled, it is still worth some serious cash . . .

You can't post pics until you have more posts under your belt (to help stop spam I think)
