    not that much more then the ash or pear so 250 is a reasonable price

        The ash is worth a lot more than the pear, as is the maple as they're rarer. Have to be careful though as that later pear cues were apparently unsteamed and look like maple.

          It's maple no doubt about that. How many of you have seen a maple Mannock? I believe it's a very rare cue, also has a horn ferrule.

            many original old mannock cues had horn ferrules, what is rare to one person newman doesn't speak for everyone.

            Last one sold this year http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1412111927...780%26_rdc%3D1

              don't think I've seen an ash one in the flesh

                Me neither, although there was one on ebay a few months back.

                Owner didn't seem to know it was ash either, but it definitely looked ash , and with long horn ferule.

                Anyone on here buy it ?

                  It went fairly cheaply too as I recall.. Having just bought one a couple of months earlier for £250!
                  The one I picked up is a nice player too, 9.75mm on the tip with the original horn/bone (whatever it is) ferrule - some of the things you read would suggest all cues that aren't 58' and 11mm aren't original, complete nonsense of course, people played with all lengths, weights, tip sizes back then just like today.

                    actually you think about it it makes perfect sense what you have just said,like now we all get our cues handmade or measured to a particular length tip size etc, so whats saying they didn't do that in the old days.

                      No unfortunately I don't have any info. However, first century was in 1922 according to sources.

                      A few googles comes up with some info:

                            That really was a steal.. I'm not sure what's happening atm, same 2-3 people bidding on everything right now, I think I'll leave them to it!

                                No one who's bought a cue off me! Imagine blackswan would be able to guess, from the feedback number
