    Info wanted on BBC kids pool cue

    I have a small youth cue and can't find any information on it at all. Just hoping to find the year it was made and the type of table it came with. Thank you.

    Willie Hoppe with 2 piece ferrule?

    My ferrule Thanks again for the information. I suggested to him to take a light skim cut off the face of black part and put on a new tip. When he did he found metal in the middle. I was worried that it was a screw on tip and I messed it up. I just wanted to keep it original as possible.

    Willie Hoppe with 2 piece ferrule?

    I have a Willie Hoppe cue which appears to have a 2 piece ferrule. I have other Hoppes that have all buck horn or all ivory ferrules. My cue tip person thought it to be a screw in tip. Or is it original? Found this cue on net that looks just like mine. Any info appreciated.

    I originally went to the estate sale for antique billiard chairs they advertised . Some lady bought them and most of the billiard stuff already . I was about to leave and then I spotted 2 of these cues . One ebony and one lighter wood. I regret not buying both. Live and learn.

    I believe he bored out the butt and installed a brass threaded sleeve for strength . I is very ridged now. It hits solid.

    Thanks. Its my favorite cue . The feel of ebony is unique. It seems very hard and tight grained . I have read some where that ebony is used to make magic wands. I hope to use it to cast a spell on my game. LOL

    will a 1-1/2" nose height play terrible ?

    I will keep that in mind.Thanks again. I used 3m scotch-weld to attach the cushion. Can I remove ,cut the sub rail ,and reuse that cushion again?

    will a 1-1/2" nose height play terrible ?

    OK. All I have to do is cut the sub rail angle of the bevel slightly and use the k55 cushions which will bring down my nose height. sounds like a plan . thank you.

    will a 1-1/2" nose height play terrible ?

    So you are saying that the table will unplayable at 1/16th of an inch over the ideal nose height? Can you tell by looking at a picture of my rails which cushion should be used? The guy I bought my facings told me my rails were cut for k-66 cushion . Is that true? ( 1890s table) Just wondering...
