THAT IS THE THIRD OR FOURTH CUE I'VE SEEN JUST LIKE THAT ONE. DON SHERMAN HAD ANOTHER WITH THE SAME RING SET AT THE JOINT, BUT I THINK HIS HAD A PILOTED JOINT. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THEY'RE ALL CONSIDERED "UNKNOWNS".
LIKE WAS SAID ABOVE, A GOOD CLEAR PIC OF THE LOGO/SIG MAY HELP. THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT I REMEMBER SEEING THAT WAS MARKED ON THE FOREARM.

Randy: appears to be a titlist conversion (from a Brunswick cue). The last photo is blurry, is there a name present, sure cann't read it if there is a name. Try and get a good photo if any name is present, someone may be able to help.
The "logo" was a smudge. This and a boatload of other cues, including Ginas, TS, a Szamboti, and so on, were stored in PVC in a guys attic....here are some better pics. Unfortunately, the shaft has a bit of a roll. I hit with it last night(no chalk) and it is very solid though.
The bumper you see in the pic was installed by me. It appeared as if the bolt for an original sheared off somehow(the cue looked to have never been played with) and the weight bolt is glued in..
I made a few attempts to remove it and failed. I decided NOT to apply heat or other methods and simply drilled and tapped for a new screw. I can always use a more invasive method later, if desired.
The current owner wishes to sell this and I was wondering what a fair price would be?
Without identifying the maker, I was thinking around 700.00.
He also picked up a Scruggs conversion and a Drexler.
I believe he wants to sell all of these....
Any help, publicly or PM ect..., would be greatly appreciated.
I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT BRINGS 700 AS IS. IT IS 100% A TITLIST CONVERSION, BUT BEING UNKNOWN LIMITS THE VALUE TO BASICLY WHAT THE BLANK IS WORTH.
THAT BEING A SMUDGE MAKES MORE SENSE. LIKE I SAID THE OTHERS I HAVE SEEN DIDN'T HAVE A NAME/LOGO ON THEM. IT REALLY SURPRISES ME THAT NO ONE KNOWS WHO DID THAT JOINT RING SETUP.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHERE A "THRUST BEARING" IS USED IN A CUE?

Thank you for your time and input. 700.00 was just a guess. The keeper assembly was added...accidentally. I have been trying to get another one to fix a lathe that fell while unloading.
