Burroughes and watts not what it was?

[craigslater]

Hi guys

I collect a few cues as i know a few people on here do, as these people will know most collectable, rare and axpensive cues are all burroughes and watts, so how come Burroughes and watts cues are not as popular to buy now as say a hundred years ago, they are trading again and from the cues ive seen in real life and one ebay they look pretty good?

So why are they not as popular as say parris, mike wooldridge and trevor white, as i would say burroughes and watts have to be up there as one of the most historical cuemakers ever? Along with Peradon and Rileys etc?

The new Burroughes and Watt are the same company in as much as name only. The original B & W merged with EJ Riley in 1967. This new company is trading on the name of the original company. I think the cues will also be ipmorted.
