Hi everyone...in my collection I have a cue with no makers Mark on the butt...however...where the weight stamp is there is a rugby ball shaped lozenge with the letters GOB with an arrow running through it.On another thread about scoreboards I read about this company.Subsequent research shows the company made equipment like tennis rackets and golf clubs but no info on cues..any info would be greatly appreciated...thanks.

This company was founded some time around 1856 by George Gibson Bussey (1829-1889) as a manufacturer of leather goods. By 1895 they had switched to manufacturing undersize billiard/bagatelle tables and it would be from this date that cues carrying their brand would have started to appear.

They expanded in 1906 when they became a private limited company. The published prospectus at that time says they were operating at—"The Sports Manufactory, Peckham, London, S.E. The Timber Mills, Elmswell, Suffolk. The City Depot, 36 and 38 Queen Victoria-street, E.C. The Paris Depot, 25 and 27, Rue Tronchet. The firm's manufactures cover the whole field of outdoor and indoor Sports and Games, including Cricket, Lawn Tennis, Golf, Football, Croquet, Hockey, Polo, Badminton, Fencing, Gymnastics, Billiards, Bagatelle, and all cabinet games, etc. The firm are also leading manufacturers of Leather, Canvas, and other requisites for the Sportsman, Explorers, and the gunmaking trade, as well as producers of high grade travelling appointments and Contractors to both the War Office and Admiralty. The business is mainly wholesale and export."

They were ultimately wound up by adopting voluntary liquidation in 1932.

Thank you ever so much for the information ...the cue itself came in a steel tapered tube which actually had a Victorian padlock.At the very end of the butt is stamped a letter M , and I notice a lot of Burroughes and Watts stamp letters in that position so I thought they may have made it for them.The cue has 15 stamped on it near the GGB Mark but no oz Mark.Its hand spliced ebony with an ash shaft..no ferrule.
