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 ???

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

Update: Opps I meant 96 break cue (not 98)
