The Old Cue Thread

this is only my feelings at this time which what I have come across, they could be late 60s but have not found evidence of that, only 70s... anyone?

how much did you pay? :wink:

£40 for the pair, thought I'd got a bargain as I never seem to find old ash cues!

I think the name never really went away but was not used on badges/logos etc for that Riley Burwat period

I'd just always used the logo to get a rough date, so anything with the E J Riley logo I assumed was pre 1967 when they took over Burwat. Got a feeling I might of overpaid?

Cheers for that, never knew they brought the name back. Here is the stamps[ATTACH]17926[/ATTACH][ATTACH]17927[/ATTACH]

yep, for a short period after Riley Burwat and before Rileys they do appear to me to go back to EJ Riley, mid70s to early 80s.

My initial thoughts are for mid-late 1970s due to the name and layout; being after the "Riley Burwat" and before the 80s stylized logo.
Any photo of the stamp please?
as you have probably seen before, on the Gordon Radford (The Cue Collector) website, etc, the letter stamp probably does not indicate any particular year.

Thought E J Riley was before Riley Burwat, did they go back to that when they dropped the Burwat and went back to just being Riley?
