Looks like he sold the pair a couple of months back.

Maybe I'm looking at it wrong. When I go into feedback, and click the "as seller" tab, there's nothing appears.

11 x feedback as a buyer though.

Don't know if they're real or not, but a seller , selling 2 x £1000+ cues with zero feedback as a seller is always

going to make me feel uneasy ( chance would be a fine thing. LOL ).

I'd be asking a whole lot of questions.

the 667 I have a record of was a red-burr wood front splice, not ebony; also it could be the photo but the badge does not look square to the butt

Dodgy ultimates floating the market, dodgy hunt & o'byrne's floating the market, this way people are going to want proof of purchase directly from the cuemaker themselves soon.

I suppose at the time, Billiards was the main attraction,. Wasn't snooker just a wee filler played on occassion ?

yeah I started playing billiards before I found snooker - how old do I feel

[billabong]

Any excuse for a billiard/snooker match eh? :wink:

Yes, the estimated date of 1940 by the vendor is a bit out, although it looks like an ivory plate on the cue, which should have at least suggested somewhere pre-1914.

The extent of festivities and social gatherings around amateur billiard tournaments of this period could easily be mistaken as the real reason for the matches taking place, rather than having anything to do with the game.

fantastic info 100-uper
