Cheers Kev, it came from another collector here in the UK. Not sure if it's maple of some other shaft wood, and alternate splicing on it.

I have an old burroughes & watts cue, I believe from the 20s/30s. All it has is "burroughes & watts london" stamped on the butt. Does anyone know when they stopped stamping the butt on their cues?

[Dangaz01]

Just emailed you the pics and specs

[perpetualboredom]

specs: 167(!?)cm, 10mm tip


specs: 165(?!)cm, 9.5mm



Not something I've followed prices of, so will leave others to offer a value - I didn't get any bids on a similar Rex Williams cue I had for sale, so I donated it to my local club. As usually happens someone then pinched it..

Any Alcock champions or specials around?

Welcome mate, Alcock Champions and Specials crop up from time to time but as you know all are highly sought after especially 1st Edition Alcocks with ivory badges.
