New "Pawn Shop Nugget"
- Thread starter Bob Farr
- Start date
I dig it but no clue. Diamonds look unique. Not sure. Closeup of pin? If serious about pawn shop, I would have bought it too.
No idea. Pawn shop find? Excellent.
I dig those rings, just like my Joss block letter cues. But it is unusual to see them in all locations, which I do enjoy seeing.
Proportions of the rings are nice.
Points looks nicely done, with nice proportions.
One inch butt cap, does not look like delrin.
Is there a grain in those ferrules?
The points of the diamonds are rounded...
Not the greatest shaft wood...
Very nice finish, looks to be in excellent condition. Looks darn well new.
I really don't know who made it. But I like it.
Would like to see close up of pilots/pin as well as under the bumper.

Certainly looks ALOT LIKE BOB RUNDE CUE "
Agreed, those are Runde diamonds
Runde?
OK, yeah. I don't think you guys are wrong.
But I am surprised that everybody identifies the diamonds as Runde. I didn't think the ends were so rounded on Runde diamonds. They otherwise look Runde.
I guess I have not seen enough of his. I didn't think he rounded the ends of them so much.

I'm not sure I'm buying the "pawn shop nugget" bit. :thumbup:
I agree that Runde is certain possibility. I would also throw Richard Black out there.

Not so much the diamonds that does it for me, but other things seem to say Runde. The dashes are a bit thick, typical for Runde. The butt sleeve pattern became sort of a standard for a Schon cue later as well. The butt plate, in addition to being a bit shorter than the usual 1.5 inches also has a bit of a squared off end, similar to other Runde cues. Also, those ferrules either look like Micarta, or whatever material became the Schon standard with and after Runde. Could also be a custom Schon in the earlier days, but I doubt it, given the wrap. They didn't too many with green speck linen.
All the best,

Agree, I'm not buying the pawn shop tale either.
For Black, the bumper is too big; he used a smaller one, probably custom, not the typical. Also, I've never seen a Black with fairly centered dashed shaft collars. This would be a first. For the butt plate, either Richard did the typical 1.5 inch, or a much shorter, sort of like Bill Stroud, but I've never seen this length plate for Richard.
Not conclusive...
All the best,

Yes, just teasing about the Pawn Shop. Came from "Deanoc's Pawn Shop". R-12 recreated by the creator of the R series Schon cues. Thanks for the compliments guys.

Yep, thought that was a Runde - Schon - looking. Distinctive butt plate. Very nice cue.
All the best,
