Spotted on eBay

[100-uper]

Just spotted this cue on eBay. Unusually for an amateur presentation cue I happen to have some history on this one, which was awarded for a billiards handicap at the Swan Hotel, Stepney. The event had an entry of 78 local amateur players and took place in February 1908. This particular cue was actually the prize given to the runner-up, J. Newman, (not connected with the famous Tom Newman, as far as I know). This is a snippet from the New World of Billiards about the event. It always fascinates me how these things come together ...

I want something that just potters around the house all the time


but this for a table, not a snooker table unless it only goes from baulk to black in straight lines,even then ...

Looks like a decent price for this very nice cue.

Thought this was a bit unusual and would make a nice case with a bit of work, maybe some new Chaney catches and line the interior with suede.

Seller has changed the item! It now links to snooker balls and a triangle, looks like he must have sold the oak case off ebay.

Can you not figure out roughly when he ordered these cues by the numbers on them?

I believe the badges are put on when completed and the numbers relate to that time and not when ordered.
I believe Fedia had ordered many back in 2010/2011 and hence the stream of them from him, how many we may never know

Nice Cue this for very little money!


Gaz.

Tempted by this as it's my spec

worth a go I'd say
I got the wife a very similar cue (with four splices) and it is a great cue.

I can't work out how he gets them all. Its been going on a while so he must have started making orders - say 1 or 2 a month about 4 years ago.

Agreed he Must have, he's asking £1100 for that hunt & osbourne as well

[Byrom]

For that price I would sell 2 of my John Parris Ultimates and a JPU case. That fedia is mad ain't he

I agree - I don't even like this one - quite a poor cue in comparison to many I have seen and owned. He obviously cant sell them for anywhere near this much surely - and I wonder if there is a table tennis forum out there moaning about the price of his bats too?

This fedia fella must find have a mugs r us following as he seems to sell them in the end, the specs of most of his cues favour the chinese so I guess they are the target market.
