Second Sidney Smith Champion cue

The Second Sidney Smith Champion cue comes in both hand and machine-spliced versions with a Rosewood butt and a facing splice made from Maple with lines of Ebony running through the splice.

The cue commemorates Mr Smith’s win in the UK Billiards Championships of 1947, 1948 and 1949.

The fact is that Mr Smith won the tournament only once but was not required to defend the title for two years, this meant that he was credited as the holder of the tournament for three years in total.
