JB pool cue

I searched for info on this cue stick, all I found was it's not being made anymore.
Anyone know the builder & the cues quality?

Jorge Balabushka? The ring work reminds me of the old cues like Cobra, Mizerak, Adam, Mali. If you can show the forearm and joint pictures, someone can possibly tell you.

Jorge was George’s brother. He made wonderful cues as well. They are much rarer than George’s cues. Great find!

That’s rite! I had forgotten those details. Now that you reminded me, I remember. Good looking out! Was a very interesting family.

Their cousin Geṓrgios also built one hell of a cue as well. They are possibly the rarest of the rare.

You have yourself a rare cue there.
A John Barton cue.

Juan was George’s uncle I thought.

Hmmm, you might be right. Which one was married to Rosalita?

Rosalita was Consuelo’s sister who married to Pancho


The confusing thing is George and the whole family were Russian’s with Latin names.

 

[Boxcar]

OK, yes , that's right, it was Consuelo! Golly, I can't remember anything. Poor Juan.

If that's the cue from ebay. It's named after JB billiards. Who had a run of cues made by Adam in the 70s.

per my Interpol sources they were nazis, trained by a renowned linguist, to speak with a russian accent with latin names
