Hi Guys
was this cue likely to have been made by John himself?

[ADR147]

yes - this cue is going to go well !

An interesting cue indeed

will it break a grand Andrew

will it break a grand Andrew

Err i would say no way !!! not even in top condition, this needs work to sort it out
I estimate it will reach £500 tops

[kev267]

I thought being an early model made by John himself would go for a higher price.
what work would be in order for the cue?

[jrc750]

Well if the state of the joints are anything to go by, the shaft may need re finishing too, or at least a very good oiling

[kev267]

would look good after a light spruce up

[jrc750]

Actually i'm sure adr said these sort of cues could maybe reach £800 in good condition, but this one isn't at the moment, so surely a fair bit less ??

[jrc750]

I still can't work out how the joints got to be in such a state !! i mean has it been left out in a damp garage or something ????

[kev267]

its all on the day and who wants it I guess. A rare chance to get an early model Parris like this

[jrc750]

I might put one more bid in, i did ask very early if they would take £235 delivered worth a try ehh, sometimes it works

[kev267]

still early! its on 390 at the moment with 2 days to go

There's no way of knowing if it was made by jp himself was this cue a early ultimate or is this a seperate line of cues with there own numbers .
Just interested because I have seen lots of ultimates but never seen one with the number below 100
If this is a early ultimate at what time did parris start putting ultimate on the badge if it isn't does anyone know what year parris made is 1st
Ultimate with the badge they use today.

i sold a mint one for £800 about a year ago so i am going to guess it will fetch around £600, £100 spent with john would make it a very nice cue.
