Thanks! Really happy to have ID’d this cue. If at some point, you come across pictures of the weight spacers, I would appreciate seeing them. While I don’t need them to use the cue, I still would like to start my search to find a set so the cue is complete. Thanks again to everyone.

Here is a picture with a tape measure. Hopefully this helps. Thanks everyone!

There was a second cue among the set given to me when I bought a pool table recently. It has not indication of the maker, but has a great feel to it and quite frankly it may be my favorite cue. Based on the brass joint, I think it is 1960s/1970s but I'm no expert. The wood is beautiful (the...

My daily cue is an antique BBC fish pole. Is there a performance gain to a really good tip or does the age of the cue negate any gain?

Thanks for posting those before pictures!

That is my daily playing cue. I just don’t break with it. I occasionally will put the old balls on the table, but I’m always afraid of breaking them so I won’t play as I normally would. I also will chalk up with an old Spinks cube when I get in a slump because I like knowing that, for at...

My newest Brunswick cue.

I have a 9' Monroe which I dearly love and play daily. What a beautiful table restoration on your table. Well done! I would love to see a separate post of before, in progress and after photos of the work as I hope to one day to improve my table's cosmetics as well and old tables hold so many...

Picked up a poker set. I still want to get the suited version poker set, but I do love this set because it is true to the original clay poker ball design, but is also playable. ClassicBilliards makes a very nice 16 ball rack for this set in case anybody is looking for that. Link below...

As I search for a set of these, the first I have come upon were unfortunately a partial 2" set in England that would set me back around $200 including the shipping. I have two questions. Can I play a 2" ball on my American table or is that a Snooker table ball only. Secondly, what would a...

I think I will wait until hot weather and put it in the sun and see how it goes. Since its vinyl, I never considered ironing it.
