John taylor and sons special cue

[Stevie1]

John Taylor & Son, Edinburgh, Limited, established 1825, and for many years at Princes Street, went into voluntary liquidation immediately after the war (October 1945). The billiards side of the business, together with the trading name, was bought by W. J. Brown and A. Ross Hewitt, who thereafter continued to trade from West Newington Place. This looks like a cue from that period, and must date from before 1968 when the company ceased trading completely.

Thanks for that must be worth a case swap for someone

I was lucky enough to get 2 x handspliced Taylor's from the same guy. I say I was, but Andy Hunter and I went for one each.

Handspliced Balanced cue, and handspliced special cue with nice veneers.

That one is one of the ones they gave away with the tables I think - they are pretty common up here.
