Hunt & O'byrne cue on e-bay

[Keithbaron]

Never seen one of these cues before. Can anyone give me more information about it. Was this a lower range cue or older Blackplate type of cue?

Any info would be appreciated.

Does anyone know where in the H&O range this cue sat. i.e. red plate level or black plate level (Comparing it to say Osborne cues today).

Never a fan of that cue, the 2 brass rings on it just looked odd for a snooker cue, obviously part of the joint but with them so far apart it didn't look right.

How much do you guy's think the cue is worth? were there a lot of these cues produced with a square badge?

Cheers.

£800-£1000. Rare cue but shaft has terrible grain look.

Were these type of cues not made by Aeon for H&O?

The black and brass joint faces were a very common feature on Aeon cues and I wouldn't be surprised, that if that cue was unscrewed that, the joints would turn out to be spiroloc joints rather than the joints fitted by Mick Rees as well.
