Nice freebie. Fifty quids worth or so for the Lindrum if this is anything to go by: ebay # 260268310619
Notice a couple that have been sold on ebay recently, one with an additional badge like yours but what it went for i dont remember now and it's too long ago to show in a completed search on ebay.
Some 25 years ago the conservative club i was a member of closed down as basically no one went in there anymore. The average age of the members was in the high 60's and there wasnt 30 of us. I went in with my uncle and his mate and played every friday on the table upstairs. Even left me fags on the table one night and they were in the same place the following week which just showed how quiet it was On 3 walls there were racks of old cues in their tin cases all padlocked and a daisy chain though each rack. No one had a clue where the keys to the padlock chains were let alone the cases. Bet there was 60 cues in the room altogether and everyone of them belonged to a deceased member.
I know the building went for 16k as I was expecting a share till some old bugger found in the rules only members over 25 or something were entitled to one and I ended up with nowt. Gawd only knows what happened to the cues though. Wish now I had took a hacksaw with me.Last edited by Wity; 5 August 2008, 11:11 PM. -
i think the second badge (the E.A.CLARE ) was probably added when the cue had some work done by them which was the norm i think back in them days , i am sure someone on here will confirm this,,,, thanks wity i will stick it on ebay and see what it makesComment

The Horace Lindrum cue looks nice it will probably fetch minimum £60 i would think, if it was listed in Austrailia it would get £100 plus easy so if you list it on ebay and are willing to send to Austrailia it will fetch more money as there very collectable cues there, i've sent one before using parcel2go.com using fedex gets there in about 5 days and it costs around £35 they collect it from the door so long as buyer pays postage not to much hassle really.
Just for info really to help you get the best price for it.Comment

no probs mate...i had the same problem with a horace lindrum cue the same as yours and had never shipped outside the uk before highest uk bid was £60 but when i opened up to austrailia it made £90 plus the shipping which the buyer paid no problem.
The paperwork wasn't as bad as i thought either.
good luck with it anyway mate.....Comment
