Blinking hell, great deal there mate

it's not bad for £30 - not sure i have seen a club cue with the billiard words badge before - might get you a decent price from a joe davis collector

Nice find and well worth the money.
First vintage cue that I bought was from a bootsale but don't see them that often

Just been over to Craftsman today, and they've recently had a Willie Smith cue in for tipping, that had a customized one off badge inscribed to a Mr Kipling (all in the main badge if I understood right). He'd just bought it at a carboot for 50p, "Someone" offered him £400 for it but he wouldn't sell!!

Just to make you aware that those decals look like water slide transfers and they have been varnished over !!! Oops .. Don't try to get rid of the varnish or you will take the decal with it !! T

NORMALLY I PAY LESS THAN A TENNA FOR A CUE AT A CAR BOOT IVE THOUGHT THESE WHERE EXPENSIVE LOL AS FOR water slide transfers IVE JUST OILED THEM

[tomeestrings]

Sorry the cues look like they have been varnished ??? As you know water slide transfers are very delicate so best not touch them in any way cos they look mint . PS you paid below their value !!

been in the wars that one

[tomeestrings]

The badge is clearly not the original !! But Hey Ho still a good purchase :biggrin-new:

[garysnooker]

any ideas how to clean the badge on the Joe Davis cue

[tomeestrings]

Hi Gary , first of all feel with your nail and make sure that the all the words on the badge are engraved into the plastic !! if they are just clean the badge with some Meths or spirit etc
