National Bar Billiards Association Tankard

[Julian Turner]

Hello

My late father used to run a pub in Hatfield in the 1970's called the Robin Hood, which had bar billiards tables I recall.

I have found amongst his effects an old, slightly battered, pewter tankard, for the the "National Bar Billiards Association".

Might this be of interest to anyone?

Hi Julian,

I am sure that this will be of interest to the Forum Owner, "Sav", who has a collection of such items.
Unfortunately, he has gone away for a few days, so can't reply now.

I will however copy this into his Inbox to await his return.

Many thanks.

They also turn up on Ebay quite regular, and make very little money, which is a shame because it is part of the history of our sport.

Thank you both for your messages.  

I can see the tankard is only worth a few pounds on Ebay, and I am more interested in advice as to the right home for it.  

Regards

Julian

Hi,

Back from Manx GP Motorbike Racing.

Yes I have a couple of those and would give it a good home. The AEBBA secretary Dave Alder has asked me if I wanted to sell any of my memorabilia, which I don't, so he might also be interested.

Is it a pint or half pint tankard please?

Didn't realise this thread was here but glad I found it. Yes, I would be interested in the tankard.
Let me know if you wish to sell??

There's another NBBL pewter (half-pint) tankard on eBay at the moment:
