I love the look of maple, I keep changing my mind on whether to try a maple cue for a change. That Glover cue looks fantastic aswell.

I find maple very hard to use as well, has a very springy feel to it compared to a stiff ash cue which is very offputting. Pity as its a very nice looking cue.

aye more of a spring out of maple harder to judge the ball i feel, cheers its a lovely cue thats why im goin to keep it just :P

i think it's likely to be a club stamp to identify the cue.

are right that makes sence, thanks mate.

Ive a eureka with the name "Bickerton" stamped lightly just above the badge. Not too noticable but definately there. Looks like it was done with proper stamp as well, not like someone etched it in letter by letter freehand.

looks more like initials oc than 8.....

what is the significance of the two stamps in photo 3?
a side-ways "8" and a large "1".
Does look very nice, obvious question, what would this cue be worth?
cheers

ADR147's the man in the know :snooker: I'd be grateful for any info on the 8 and 1 stamp mate?.. like I said the state it was in when I first got it definitely looked like it could be 60 years old!..I took a chance with it as the guy who sold it had no clue about cues and if it was even that strate! but it turned out to be a cracking cue...I have no plans to sell it at the moment, I guess the old cue purists may think as I have taken the original lacquer off that will affect it's value, but to me it's looks 100 times better now over all and feels a lot nicer to but thats just my preference

Remarkably new looking cue for 60 years old, no fading on the plate, IMO its a replica.

would have to be done with an old B&W's cue. ash is old and english and stamp is right.

It's not a replica mate, the guy I bought the Burwart cue from said it was his grandads old cue who had bought it sometime back in the late 1940's...it's spent most of it's life in it's case he said, so that's why the lettering on plate is in such condition..after I received the cue I set about cleaning it up! removed the old chipped lacquer, cleaned the badly tarnished ferrule and old glue off it, oiled it, waxed it, polished it, that's why it looks like new!...messed up putting the plate back on though like a plonker! I ended up breaking one of the screw heads! that made me swear!!..but apart from that in the end I was very please with how well the cue turned out! ..here's some close up pics of the name plate, end of the butt and weight stamp and theres also numbers on the front face splice?

One thing I'm not sure how to clean up the plate better theres some lacquer still on it.. I left that as I was worried I may damage the lettering any ideas guys?
