Here are some pics of a few of the other blanks we acquired from the estate sale in Northern Illinois.

Some of these blanks have a 5 digit numbering system ending in 93 or 94 which we assume reveals year built as 1993 or 94

Note: Ivory inlays within the points show 4 point star and arrow head style inlays. We also have cues with oval style inlays in the points.

This cue is classic. I held it in my hands the other night and looked it over. The finish was done perfectly. The workmanship put into this butt by the cuemakers at omega is as good as it gets. The points are flawless and the silver rings are REAL thick for a great look. Someone is going to get a lot of cue for their money. Easily the best deal on az. I'll vouch for Rick and let those of you who know me and those of you who have done business with me know, it's a bad a$$ cue and if rick had steadier hands for picture taking, you'd all see that a little more cleary :) Rick is a VERY reasonable guy and as long as someone makes a reasonable offer on this bad boy, you might be surprised. Shoot him a pm and make an offer. You might be surprised. Again, a very reasonable guy to do business with. Good luck with your sale Rick.

Joe,

Thanks for the comments. My hands are not shaking, the camera close up feature is not in my wheelhouse.

Thanks,

Rick
 
Omega dpk cues.

THIS IS A DESCRIPTION OF OMEGA CUE CO. FROM THISISAMESMISTER.COM. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE NAME ON THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF BILLIARDS HISTORY.


Omega/DPK ~ maker of pool cues from 1989 to 1996 in Wauconda, IL ~ the company was owned by Ed Boado ~ Mike Bender was the first cuemaker, David Kersenbrock joined the team and later Matt Bender after Mike Bender left to go on his own ~ Omega cues are scarce ~ good investment
 
Question? if i come across a man who has 2 gus szamboti blanks,and 3 Burton spain blanks, and I call my good friend up Joe The Cue Maker in my local pool room and have him build me a cue out of each of these blanks, to exact szamboti, and burton spain specs, did Joe just build me 2 Gus Szambotis and 3 Burton Spains........I dont think so, my point is this, ive probably owned about 30 Omega/dpk cues i have never sold one for under $1200(wich was a sneaky pete with 2 shafts and sold a couple for over $7,000....and i can tell you this Omega has never built a cue that looks anything like these cues.....and i feel that omega cues are very collectible, i feel like you are misrepresenting these cues....these are not Omega dpk cues, and you should not steal the name of a great cue company because it is not in business any longer, to benefit yourself and seemingly mislead others. I am sure you guys build a great cue but call it what it is a "Esoteric Cue" built with a omega/dpk blank.........why devalue all the real Omega/dpk cues, by creating questions, and doubt about there authenticity. No offence but i dont think that there is a true cue collector or Broker on az or anywhere in the world that will not agree with me

Dear Tim,

First of all, these blanks are all at the finished dimension. It is not the same as if I bought a John Davis blank in the raw form and built a cue to my specs. I never had to take a cut on them other that to install the pin and bore & tap the butt for the bumper and the weight bolt thread. Why would I put my name on something I did not build myself? I knew that by representing these cues in this truthful way was going to get me less money than if I were to represent them as Omega DPKs without an explanation. These cues are a real opportunity for players to get Omegas for a good price. As you must be well aware of, Omegas are known for their solid and stiff hit because of the shaft taper and the joint geometry.

I have tried my best to be honest and transparent as possible concerning these cues. You are entitled to your opinion but I assure you that these cues were made by Omega DPK in Wauconda Illinois. I will post some pics of the batch of blanks and you will see that some have the flared butt cap as well as the fact that many of the have the distinctive Omega Box Style rings. I was very good friends with John Wright for over 30 years and he also lived around the corner from me in Palatine. I have very select knowledge concerning Omega DPK Cues and my partner in the cue business is Ray Hernandez. Ray built cues at the Omega Shop for just under a years time.

Thank you for your opinion and suggestions.

Rick Geschrey

P.S. I see that Jbravo ( Joe Durham aka ATM Joe ) is one of your online friends here at AZ. Joe is currently working in our shop building cues and learning the art. He is very talanted and knows a lot about cues and cue makers. Ask him about these blanks!!

Here is a representative sample of a few of the cues I bought from the estate sale in Northern Illinois.

Do you still think these are not Omega DPK blanks?

Rick,

With all due respect, I have to agree with Tim in regards to calling this an Omega DPK cue. When a cuemaker builds a cue with a John Davis blank, they do not call it a John Davis cue. The build it as one of their cues using a Davis blank. This should be called an Esoteric cue, build with an Omega blank.

Nice cue, good luck with you sale.

Thanks Jamie,

I appreciate your feedback and I have no problem doing that. I thought that I was doing the proper thing by representing these cues as I have done. However, unlike the John Davis blanks where you have to taper, square up the points, install joint collar, butt sleeve, butt cap, these blanks were at finished dimension sealed but no finish, all we do is install the pin and bore the butt area before finishing. I do get your point and the respectful manor that you presented your informative suggestion.

I would also appreciate any feedback from other collectors or cue dealers as to how I should handle these sales. I have 16 more blanks that will be finished from time to time in the future and do not want to get flamed for misinterpretations from cue enthusiasts.

So far I have sold 5 plain 5 pointers. I have some fancy ones with boxed rings and ivory inlay w/ silver.

Thanks again,

Rick Geschrey

Just my opinion as a looker. I have always been curious as to one day possibly owning an Omega DPK, so when this cue first posted it initially caught my eye. However, after much thought, although I wasn't in a position to purchase it, if I were in a position to buy it, I probably wouldn't have simply because the title in the post suggests the possibility of getting into an Omega DPK. However, once the deal would have been done, I wouldn't have been able to convince myself that I were the new owner of a 'real' Omega DPK.
