If anyone has any info at all on this cue, I'd love to hear it.

not seen one with a square badge and "Champion Cue" before; they are usually a round badge, there is one in the Clare collection, which is noted as made by Peradon/Weilding.
There are also "Frank Cox" tables out there but I would not be surprised if they were just badged as such.
Not much info around, hopefully someone like 100upper has more

Frank Cox was an ex-employee of Burroughes and Watts who was advertising himself as a "billiard table maker" between 1907 and the early 1950s, having registered some designs for dining/billiard tables fairly early in this period.

He had an address at 151 Earl's Road in Southampton for the whole of his time in business, so I would need a telephone number to narrow the date down any further. I'm not an expert on cues, so can't add anything further on the photos.
