  • Mac Chambers unusual cue

    Hi, complete novice to the forum but well chuffed to have found it! As a bit of a novice collector, I'd be intrigued if any cue experts or collectors on here could shed any light on a cue I have recently purchased. It came as a pair with a 1 piece 1st edition Burwat Champion, so here goes.
    It's a long ash shaft with ebony splicing, almost like the top section of a regular 3/4 cue but longer. It measures 133cm with a male thread. The bottom/ butt of this cue is timber, female thread with a telescopic extender. I appreciate this sounds a bit odd, but can only guess it's something that was made when butt sockets never really existed, to almost have your own fully extendable cue? It has a custom cues sticker on it by Mac Chambers with an address in Rushden with an old style landline contact number.
    I'm grateful for your time guys, and any ideas would be appreciated.

      I recently sold a Britannia cue with a built in extender. 3/4 ebony butt in ash shaft then an invisible joint halfway up the butt with a screw lock 6" extender built in. Nice cue but extender was a bit wobbly when locked out for serious use , got £50 for it on ebay.

          Cheers bradwight, this one is way too long as an any shot playing cue though. It's almost been custom made as a personal extendable fishing tackle? Maybe the old chap just didn't want a socket put in the Burwat? Don't know, but thanks anyway.

            Sorry for the delay guys, bit of a technophobe. I think this link works! Picture of the cues just shows the shaft length of the Mac Chambers.

                            It's not really a model. It's pre the model range when the cues were numbered and made by hand by Mr Parris. This ones 353, the other one I have is 407.
