The Flowing Scotsman
In October 1906 Melbourne Inman made what was then a record for ivory balls scoring 300 points exclusively from the red losers. That particular achievement was not recognised by the Billiard Association as the table had not been tested before the match; this did not deter Inman from advertising himself as the “champion losing-hazard player of the world” and endorsing a cue, which proclaimed his achievement.
This cue is described as a “facsimile”, which was intended to be an exact copy of the cue used by Inman himself and would have been manufactured for about two years from the date of his achievement until 1909, when Harry Stevenson extended the ivory ball record to 354.
