What's behind door number 2?

Either way I like number 2 and 3. I like all of them but 3 is the best. I am going to have to get me a cue with green veneers one day. Thanks for sharing.
 
The small diameter of the rubber bumper on number 2 makes me think that it could be a Richard Black. For quite some time his had slightly smaller bumpers than the norm. The points look about the right length for a Black also. Just a guess.

and it is skinny
 
The middle cue is also a Fedunka. They two Fedunka's are made with Gus blanks, black, red, green maple, and black, blue, green, maple (green rings). The center cue always gets mistaken as a Gus. The joint blocks, the backend is very close to some of Gus' early backend work (check Tikklers WICO).

The Horn is NOT a Szam prong.

He are the forearms...

Fedunka

I am not familiar with this cue maker but from seeing these I like the work. Can you elaborate on these a bit more? Thanks!

" I wonder if the Horn was made with a Spain blank :confused:
 
Very cool cues. Beautiful.

Obviously a different game than identifying mass produced cues that are found in catalogs. One has to have a lot of exposure to such cues as these to know what to look at and how to look at it.

I did notice the bumper right away, and the small diameter.

Thanks! :thumbup:

His work in the 60's resembled Palmers and Paradises. His work into the 70's and 80's looked more like Szambotis. He was getting Gus blanks and I am not sure if he bought them from Gus, or from Palmer. I can tell from his work he really idolized Gus later in his career.

For a brief time he partnered with Karl Mayer, another Palmer / Paradise worker and they made a handful of cues under the M and F cue brand. They liked the acrylic window and used it often.

BTW they are collection cues... but everything has a price. We will issue a letter of Authenticity with these cues when they are sold. Hopefully that letter will remain with the cue so that it never gets sold as what it is not.
