Hi guys. At the risk of enduring the wrath of members that don't like these posts... just because... a lot of members are so helpful... I'm going to put this out there. Before I start, I don't have much money in the cue (less than $40). I won't argue with anyone who says it's "junk". Just wondering if in all the knowledge out there if anyone knows anything about this?

Reason's why it might be old:

1. The case I purchased it in, is absolutely a 1960's old leather case.
2. The but is thicker than most modern cues (1.3")
3. The shaft is not the more modern "Pro Taper", it is more "conical" or "Euro Taper" that all the old cues had.
4. The weight is 21.4 oz (which most older cues were heavier)
5. 57" (not 58" like most modern cues)

Reasons why it might be "newer":

1. There is no screw hole for weight bolt. Never had one.
2. Immaculate condition (would believe you if you told me it was new)
3. Stainless Steel Joint (brass insert on the shaft)

I've included a lot of pictures. I'm not looking for a "pot of gold". Just any information that you guys may have. I really respect your knowledge and am hoping to adopt that knowledge for my own. (how is anybody else going to learn if you don't teach us your knowledge?)

P.S. I haven't hit with it yet, so I can't tell you how it plays yet. It seems to be a very sold cue.

Thanks,

John
