Need help IDENTIFYING cue

[skilling]

Hello,

I need some assistance in identifying my cue. I've had it for a while, but not too sure who the cuemaker is.

Anyone have any ideas? And I can take more pics if needed.

Thanks in advance!

Could you get a pic of the joint from the front, where you can see the pin and pilot.

cue

I would say that its either a Palmer or a Paradise. Is it 5/16's 18 pin? also does the ferrule screw on and off?

looks a lot like the possible abe rich cue i posted about in the main forum today -

Ferrule & abe rich

Ferrule doesn't screw on or off.

I don't think it's a abe rich cue... It seems like there are too many differences? One being the joint -- the shaft's joint is extremely thick on the abe rich and the rings look like different materials.

It's a Palmer

I was told by TATE it's not a Palmer. He's the go-to Palmer expert right?

Have you tried a magnet on the ferrule?

Have you tried a magnet on the ferrule?

what does that tell you???

what does that tell you???

That there is metal under the ferrule.

That there is metal under the ferrule.

I'm thinking it was Paradise who used to use 'screw on' ferrules, with a metal machine screw that they threaded onto...I may be wrong but I know one of those older cue makers did this.

Good idea on using a magnet to check for this.

That there is metal under the ferrule.

Tried the magnet. There's no metal under the ferrule.

Not sure, but when you find out, let me know. I recently bought a Palmer 3rd catalog #10, and it came with a couple of extra shafts in the case, one of which matches your cue.

Balabushka

Someone has mentioned this cue might be a George Balabushka. Can anyone agree/disagree and why?

Thanks.
