i never quite understood the ash mannock - if the whole anti grip thing was about pearwood shafts why did they do them in ash? - rare cues though.

I thought it was about the taper of the shaft ( or lack of it ) ?

Nice cue Jim, has it still got the long horn ferrule ?

it was about the friction of the wood i think? maybe i have been wrong about that, i just assumed it was!

I don't think Jim would sell you it even if it was... which I doubt.

This one was on ebay recently, and from memory, looked like ash. Definitely not pearwood.
Still had the horn ferrule as well. Pity the pics aren't available any more. . .

I don't think he meant he wouldn't sell it to you, rather he assumes Jim wouldn't sell it to anyone given how rare it is.

Still, every man has a price

Really nice ash example Jim

Yet to see a Patented badged Mannock pop up for sale - anyone out there have an example of this early Mannock with "PATENTED" etched on the badge
