This listing is for a used Helmstetter Model 87-10 cue.
The cue comes with a nice Falcon 1x2 hard cue case (that will hold 1 butt and 2 shafts).
It is a very high quality case (that I think was made in Canada), and it has a nice shoulder strap on it.
The cue originally retailed for $540, but I am not sure what the current value of the cue is (in its used condition).
The cue has a flat faced 5/16x18 joint.
The cue is missing the rubber bumper for it, but a new Balabushka rubber bumper (that I think will fit it) can be ordered for it for $5.00 (from G Cue Billiard Store) in the link below.

I ordered an Adams Helmstetter rubber bumper (from an AZ member on here) about 5 days ago, but I have not received it yet (and the member has not contacted me about my order), so I am not sure if, or when I will be receiving the rubber bumper.
The butt measures a little over 28 and 3/4 inches, and the shaft measures a little under 29 and 1/2 inches long.
The total length of the cue is about 58 and 1/4 inches long.
I am not sure what the weight of the cue is, but I think that the butt has a weight bolt in it (so I think that the weight can be changed).
The butt of the cue has many nicks/dings on it (but the shaft is nice and smooth), and the wrap is not in very good condition.
The cue rolls straight (together and apart).
The cue can be professionally refinished for $85, and the wrap can be replaced with a new Irish linen wrap for $40 (from a really great cue repair person, that does high quality repair jobs) at the link below.

I think that my asking price of $175 is very fair price (considering that it retailed for $540, and it is probably very collectible).
Thank you.
