Hunt & O'byrne Black Plate.

[gloveman]

Hi guys. Just thought i'd let you all know that i am selling my Hunt & O'byrne black plate. I bought it from adr147 a few months ago but have decided to stick with my Trevor White mannock replica as my playing cue. It was made in 1988 for a former top 64 snooker pro- Mark Flowerdew, who used it for all of his main tour career. Its a 3/4 cue, jointed at 13 inches. Ash shaft, stripey ebony butt with tulipwood splices. Recently been back to Will for a clean and polish. 58 inches, 9.7mm and 19 oz. Balances at 17.5 inches. It also comes with an extending extension. I need £615 to break even, this may sound like a lot but trust me its the best example of a h+o that you are ever likely to see. If anybody would like pics please send me ur e mail address as my pics are too big to upload on to the forum.:snooker:

[platt]

umm i think it might be for sale.........

I know a guy with a brand new trevor white maple that might do business if
give him enough money to swap, but given your a Scotts man i told him a clean swap would be FAIR ?????;):rolleyes:

[ADR147]

cracking cues can you tell me about will hunt with the green writing ?

The Will Hunt with the green writing is a very special cue. It was made by Will Hunt for the photographer who photographed Wills cues for his sales brochure when he set up in business immediately after 'Hunt & Obyrne' ceased trading. The photographer travels the world taking photographs of yachting events and so very rarely used the cue. It took me almost 2 years to persuade him to sell me the cue!! When I finally got the cue it was in just about brand new condition. Original as the day it was made......59in long, Maple shaft, 3/4 joined and balances at 19in. 9.7mm tip and 29.5mm butt and the weight is 18.45oz.

hi, i am very interested in buying your cue .

[ademi]

I also have a Hunt & o'Byrne cue black plate it is a 3 piece with extension and it is in great condition.
Cue spec is:
Ash
9mm tip
56.5 inches
31 inches extension
weight 17.5 OZ
butt 27mm

I have recently acquired this cue from eBay were I swapped cues of similar value with the intent of just having one playing cue - but after playing dew frames it just does not suit me. Please see link below for pictures
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220807802230
I know this cue is worth a lot of money and aside from being a good playing cue its highly collectible.

I would consider swapping this cue for a similar priced snooker cue with the following spec:
prefer 3/4 piece but would consider 1 piece also
Ash
18.5 - 20 OZ
57.5 - 58 inches
balance point at 16 inches
join at 16 inches
9mm tip
butt 30mm

Would consider Parris Ultimate, Trevor White cues

Anybody interested please let me know ademi2000@yahoo.co.uk.

Many thanks
Ermir
