Cue Craft Cue Range

[Oldgit]

A friend of mine in my snooker club has a lovely old 3/4 Cue Craft ‘Marksman’ cue which he bought from new many years ago. I know that back in late 80s and early 90s they sold quite a few different cues, I have seen ‘Sandringham’ ‘Buckingham’ ‘Marksman’ ‘Royal Standard’ and ‘Sherwood’.
Can anyone tell me the order of cues from cheapest to most expensive?
thanks

From what I remember it was royal standard then marksman then sherwood, not sure about Buckingham though

Hi Oldgit,

i have an old retail price list from 1994. It doesn't cover all cues but is as follows:

Buckingham 3 piece 75
Royal Standard 2 piece 90
Marksman 3 piece 150
Monarch 3 piece 175
Buckingham 2 piece 59
Buckingham 3 piece 75

hope this helps?

thanks for this.......you put Buckingham at the top and the bottom, was this a mistake? Should one of them have been Sandringham?

Coronet with 3 gold British Lions in vertical red oval ?

The Cue Craft Monarch has an oval red badge with a orb with a cross on top; the Baron had a heraldic shield, stag head inside and eagle on top.
Burroughes and Watts did a "Coronet" cue.

which one is this ? Guy selling it on eBay claims its a Coronet and is asking 200

[DeanH]

It could be a Cue Craft Coronet, just that I have not seen this badge or have any mention of this model by this company; interested in any info if anyone do

Interesting side note, Hunt & O'Byrne had a model Coronet

[frazz]

They used to do a coronet cue, 3/4 with 4 lower snakewood with green veneer. They changed their models over the years and the designs of each

[DeanH]

cheers for the confirmation of that model.

Yep they did change badges and models names and designs.
I have two versions of Bulldog

Yip I had a marksman that had 2 thin brass plates instead of a badge, 1 was blank if u wanted to get your name put on it and other just said marksman

Hi,

just reviewed the the price list and there was no Sandringham there. The last entry should have read Buckingham Butt jointed 75.
