The posting of the Fender pool cue got me thinking. That cue is a POS, of course, but some promotional or branded cues have been decent cues.
I am wondering what promo cues the members might be aware of that were made by "decent" US cue makers/companies.
I am aware of:
Huebler Clicks cues
McDermott Clicks cues
McDermott Budweiser cues
McDernott Camel Cues
Mali Marlboro cues (they don't say Marlboro on them but were available through the Marlboro catalog with "Marlboro miles")
Of course there are the Snap-On, Corvette, Harley, etc cues made by McDertmott but I am looking for info on the lesser known or more obscure examples of promo cues. The McDermotts are shown here: http://www.mcdermottcue.com/timecapsulehd.php
Conspicuous by their absence on the McDermott site are the Camel and Budweiser cues.
Of course, I am aware of things like the JOSS Brunswick cues, but I am really more curious about non-billiard related promotional cues.
There have been other cues with pool hall names on them but I can't think of the names at the moment. Interesting examples would be the Titlist cues stamped with pool hall names. Not really promo items but they are interesting obscurities.
As for an example of other obscure cue curiosities made by a "decent" maker, I am aware of a Cobra cue that was marked "By Schmelke" under the Cobra logo. Personally, I wish I had that cue. I have never seen another.
Anybody aware of examples of such cues or perhaps have one or two to talk about.
