Quite an interesting item for any collection but not anything super high-end\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003e2) it could be an actual Willie Mosconi. Very unlikely but apparently they used rubbish paper stickers as the identification marks - most have fallen off after all this time. If it was a real one it could be worth well over £200 - but it probably isnt!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eCondition seems to be very good. No cracks or chips in the wood and I learned about the wobble test - again, I'm no expert but when rolled it looks smooth to me so no warping or bends in the wood. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eIt comes in a Riley Hard Case, also from the '70's so probably worth as much as the cue!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003e57\" length \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eSeperates into 4 pieces \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eInlaid\/carved Rosewood \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eIm selling it at 20% lower than the Taiwanese ones sell for and have not included the value of the case so it's a great bargain for someone who knows about these old cues. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eIm a professional, registered business seller on here and we sell mainly designer clothes.

Im sorry about the ridiculous shipping fees but the box is 122cm long. Parcelforce are the only courier that will carry anything over 120cm - and they're twice as expensive.
