Hello everyone. My father gave me a snooker cue when I was about 18. Unfortunately he passed away 2 years ago and I'm having trouble identifying it. I believe he had it at least since the 80's. The brand is an Adams cue, but I'm really struggling to find the model online. Does anyone have any ideas? Would really appreciate it if anyone would be able to help my ID it. Thanks! I can't quite figure out how to post multiple images on the forum so I'll link to a facebook post that I originally posted in the Pool Cue Collectors facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid...49130695942254

Hi all - I'm hoping that somebody might advise me as to the value and collectability of a 1929 Water Lindrum cue 17oz - the condition is pretty good I think and it has a badge (a bit worn) and a plaque on the butt - it seems straight to me - it belonged to my grandfather who died shortly after the end of the second world war and has spent the last 70 odd year kept upright in a metal case

Any help or advice about the best way to go about selling will be much appreciated

Hey sorry to piggy back on your post.

So I know nothing about these kinds of things.
I found a Willie smith champion cue in the loft of my grandparents house (now my house).
it seems to be in good condition, no bends.
It’s 58inches, 16oz and tip is 9/10mm.

Can anyone help me find out how much it is worth/ where is best to sell it.
Thanks

Welcome Kas - originality and condition is everything when it comes antiques. Best place to sell is eBay, Facebook and you can even you try this site. With the specs you’ve provided at a guess around 300gbp give take. You may well get more for the cue providing that the tip diameter is no less than 10mm, original lacquer is still present and the weight has not been tampered with post manufacture. Dings and chips will affect price. Post good pics with the specs and all the best with your sale. Good luck

Hi I have a Burroughs and watts cue "the Edwardian, hand made cue" it has a ivory badge with 4 screws securing it. Any idea the value, I think it's a good 20-25 years old. Thanks
