Thanks for info,bud. I saw the 105, but I did'nt know what that means. Do you know the year of out of your head, or that is written on the cue badg and I don't see it??
I ask this because I see no date. !! is just a question btw !!!!

Yeah the 105, 114, 138 etc are his highest snooker breaks at the time, with the 2501 being his highest billiard break.
I don't know it from my head , i cheat and look it up here

Well that cue celebrates his 105 break in snooker, which was in 1930, so must have been after that, then his next break on a cue is 114 which he made in 1933, so possibly only made in that small time frame ???

I loved the 80s Riley professional, last decent cue they made. Some of the Scottish pros started out with them.

I assume you can't tell by the number of screws holding the badges ?

Like did the maker predominantly use 2 screws up to a certain year ? or is it just dependant on the badge design rather than any change of policy ?
