No antique billiard collection is complete without a mace. The mace was the predecessor to the traditional pool cue. They were common in the late 1700s and pretty much extinct by 1900.

The one on the left is 57 1/8", the one on the right is 56 1/4". Both maces have their original brass collars.

Price is $595.00 each or make me an offer for both.

how do they hit?:grin:

And in all seriousness, how would a player have used a mace? Swinging like a golf club or what?

They used the curled end to push the cue ball. Later, by mistake, they found out that by using the smaller end, you could control whitey better. Kinda reminds you of how recreational players' goal is to just get a ball in any pockert and not even be worried about moving the ball around huh? You can google the 'history of billiards' to find out more.

I think these would make nice back scratchers.
 
are they low deflection ??

nice pieces. wish i was in the market for em. good luck with the sale sir
 
Wow!
I was just explaining about maces to one of my customers this weekend.... you just don't find them very often!

Tha last one I saw for sale was probably two years or so ago, and they wanted something like $2500 for them....

Great price and definately a great addition to a collection!

Nice piece of billiard history you're selling there. I've only heard about these before. Good luck with your sale.
 
Rob, I can't believe you are selling your personal players like that! You state "I don't think anybody is going to run racks with one of these!" I've seen you play and know that to be true!:grin:
 
If it came with a matching Predator Z2, I'd take it. :wink: Good luck with the sale. It's a nice piece of history to have.
