Snooker Plus Prize cue
The News of the World Snooker Plus Prize cue.
This cue is connected with the “News of the World” Snooker Plus) tournament, which was held at the Burroughes Hall, Soho Square, over three weeks between 26th October and 21st November 1959, involving the two Davis brothers and John Pulman.
A cue like this may conceivably have been awarded in a competition for spectators at the end of the sessions. If so, there would have been three of them, one for each week.
