There was certainly one put up for sale. Lots of banter in the questions being asked & answered about it, plenty of "in" jokes.

Dunno whether it was eventually sold though. Wish I had kept a link to the relevant pages, but I am afraid I didn't.

Look here at the seller's website for the full SP

"And the end result?
The offer received a HUGE number of visits.
24 bids were made.
The highest bid was £3.20
And for a couple of weeks the entry provoked numerous comments and discussions on the Morris Dancing Discussion List."

Spaw, if it was smashed you would definately need "wood" glue for it.

So you're still having that recurring nightmare about the bunch of strange white creatures, rattling as they move?

Most people spot swallows or hear cuckoos as the signs of spring, but today, not only did I spot, but was allowed to fondle THE bashed up morris stick off e-bay! Is this the first sighting? It was in the front bar of the Rose and Crown at Chippenham Festival. Have you seen it, let alone fondled it?
