Hi. You won't find much on plain machine spliced cues with only the circular discs, these fall into what many people term as club cues, i.e. the type found in snooker halls, bought in with the retailers badge on by shops up and down the country and sold at the bottom of their ranges. The cue was made by Peradon, date wise, sometime post 1960s by the stamp. I think the info on my site is quite mis-leading (not that I would argue with Peter Ainsworth who has forgotten more about the history of the game than I will ever know!), while the company name was officially changed in '79 to be smith and nelson limited, I have seen cues with the badge you have which clearly date much earlier than the late 1970's - so it's safe to assume the short name was used significantly earlier than the offical change, Hope this helps. Mike
