VINTAGE JOE DAVIS 600th CENTURY BREAK ONE PIECE BILLIARD / SNOOKER / POOL CUE BY PERADON.
A fantastic 58 inch one piece snooker cue commemorating Joe Davis' milestone of 600th snooker century breaks. The cue is made of ash with a machined spliced rosewood butt with the front splice having lines of maple running down the centre of the splice with a maple veneer underneath. The butt is finished with a ivorine plaque with '600' written in red with a black triangle around it and the words ' The JOE DAVIS Century Break Cue'. The cue is stamped with the weight '16 ½ oz'.
Joe Davis is a player who needs no introduction; he was such an entrepreneur that he promoted the games of snooker and billiards at every opportunity, as well as himself. He gave his name to a number of cues over his career, which generally recorded his milestones. The Joe Davis cues are very numerous and form a collection in their own right. Both E J Riley and Peradon Limited produced cues that bore his name. The Riley cues always had a tombstone or bell shaped badge, either cream in colour or on occasion, black. The Peradon versions always had a rectangular badge.
It was customary for a player to have a "Champion Cue" carrying his name made once he had won the world Billiards championship in the late 19th and early 20th century and after about 1940 the same tradition was applied to the world Snooker championships. These cues are known as "Champion Cues". Other cues were made to commemorate high breaks and world record breaks, sometimes these cues were made to commemorate the highest break of a particular player even if they were not the current world record.
