Sidney Smith tournament cue

[culraven]

Looking for any information on this cue. It's in excellent condition given it's obvious age, unferuled, 58" and stamped 17oz.
Would like to know it's age, who made it, value and if the fact that the weight stamp being side on makes it rare as i've never seen this before?
Cheers

Never seen one with that butt design before

It seems to be a single piece of mahogany or similar wood, don't know what wood the shaft is but it doesn't look like maple?

the wood is hornbeam by looks of it,most sydney smiths are sideways stamped,peradon prob made it,1940s give or take a few years ,got one same in my collection but not hornbeam,value 40-70

Knew i could rely on you Jim, it's a smashing cue and plays well too, can get a hell of a lot of work on the cue ball despite it having a 10mm tip. Am under orders to get rid of it so will be going on ebay shortly!
