Help with thoughts about pool cue? Possibly identify who made it?

[Ahwahnee]

I have three cues singed “JM 65”, “JM 99” and “JM 106”…
Can anyone help identify them!
They’re New, Never Played, two 13mm matching shafts each, 19oz.

I’ve been told two possible makers;
Joe McLaughlin or (although very rare)
Jim Murnak
Thanks!

Very possibly Jack Madden.

No idea, but I don’t think Jack Madden signed that way. I think he didn’t sign, in general. I could be wrong, old memory.

A steel (or some other metal) butt cap?

Rubber

Rubber

You posted a few minutes ago that your cues were Maddens. Have you confirmed they were made by Jack?

I would agree that Madden is possible, but I haven’t seen an exact match for the signature. But his signature has changed over the years.

Jack has in the past used polished aluminum for his butt cap.

I’m not saying ther his cues, just never saw him sign like that.

This was the closest I found.

Separately, I am only aware of Jim Murnak making cases, not cues.

I’m not sure who made these cues. There’s a few cue crafters with the initials “JM”.
I’d like verification before I sell.

Somebody will recognize the logo, have you tried AI search?

Of course, you should verify.

Those are two names that immediately come to mind and my third is Jack Madden. If I was a collector, I would own cues from all three.

I have three Jack Madden cues.
All three are new, never played, two matching 13mm shafts per cue. I don’t play anymore due to health reasons.
Any interest?

Yes!
Ai generated Jack Madden; John McLaughlin; Jim Murnak; Joss Made…
Ai never played 9-ball!
