Please help me identify this Cue?

[Cthom8]

This Cue was sold to me as a Verl Horn. After speaking with Jeff Prather, he said that it is not a Verl Horn. Other people thought that it was a ginacue. I contacted Ernie Gutierrez and he said that it’s not his Cue either. It’s 12 points and all Ivory

Philippi ?

Philippi ?

Phillipi was my first thought also . I have had 2 of them and the signature was on the forearm. maybe the op could post pictures of the joint ?

I’ve checked and did not find any signature

I have a cue with those same flower type inlays. They do not seem to be very common from my research. Mine is a wrapless titlist conversion loaded with ivory inlays. It is not signed and I am at a loss for who built it. Hopefully someone is able to identify yours as that may help with mine as well.

From all the cracking and lifting of the finish it looks like a bad refinish where the sig could possibly have been sanded off.

 

[$TAKE HOR$E]

How long have you had the cue, did the previous owner give any info as to the age?

Bill Stroud is on here, maybe he will see it and comment...donno about being his but he might have some input

Personally, until proven otherwise, I'd assume it came from the Philippines about a decade ago.

Actually, the steel joint is a little atypical for a cue from the Phillipines, so, maybe Taiwan.

They were big on Ginacue around that time.

In any case, I would need definitive proof to believe that cue was made by an American cuemaker.

They did make some knock-off Ginacues lookalikes, but the work is cleaner done than what I have seen on those, aside from the finish, which I can see that happened to if it was cheap cue to begin with.

That's what I was thinking. Especially with that pin and pilot.

Agree with you and Chopdoc, this did not come from any domestic cuemaker. Biggest giveaway is the joint pin. Nobody that I can think of uses this.

All the best,
