I wasn't really pissing & moaning.. just genuinely speculating on why people might be so silent about such a rare, unique early beauty from one of the most renowned cue makers in cue making history.. It's been a few days now and just seems rather odd to me that nobody wants to say a word about...

Oh well.. I guess I'll have to go seek greener pastures elsewhere.. I really naively thought I'd get a flood of genuine excitement and input around here...

I'm wondering why everyone is so tight-lipped about helping me out with any kind of potential leads or even a peep of info about this cue??... I've seen lots of chatter on here about Schrager.. & he's one of the biggest names in the 'business'.. so what gives??... Maybe it's because I really...

Nice.. Kinda the same story with this one.. somebody gave their neighbor all their sticks when they moved & the neighbor knew nothing about cues.. & with no name on it..I didn't know what exactly I was looking at either... So I just gave him what he wanted.. knowing it must be a good deal...

Nice.. I looked around for that catalog you mentioned.. no luck yet... Around what number did you pay? Did they know what they had?

Everyone might get a kick out of this... He's drinking and speaking in Japanese showing off his new Schrager.. but he does know how to say "bird's-eye maple"...

Sweet.. Same butt end style/set-up.. I wonder when he changed from that kind of bumper & screw setup??... Do you know when yours was made??...

Here's a couple more images... Check out the points style.. they're a perfect match to one of the other signed Schrager's I put pic of ..

It's older than the others..the finish is old/rough on the tail end section with the ivory but the points area looks to be refinished and actually looks quite sharp & crisp ... but I'll add more pics so it can be seen better

Funny.. I thought there'd be lots of chatter on this cue & Bert.. as he's such a legend in the cue making game from what I'm finding.. I kinda expected to see a lot of enthusiasm/interest... Well, here's a little celebration/honor of him in a vintage short news-footage interview I found doing my...

Another signed Schrager dated 1989 with the same inlayed point pattern...

Here's another signed Schrager up on eBay right now with the same points design and joint material &threads ..

Here's a later signed Schrager with a perfect match on the points design...

The many hours of research I did on it.. and someone who lived and worked with Bert for over 3 years... and another knowledgeable ol' timer on another group as well...and another person who saw it... According to my research sifting through everything I could find online about Schrager.. I...
