Maker of this Brunswick Cue

[Mick56]

I bought this cue brand new in 1996, it was $500. The receipt says it is a GM5, the guy said its a Grand Master 5. Would like to let it go now, any idea of the value? It has never been chalked. Also wondering who made it.

Falcon and Joss made cues for Brunswick.
The ones made by Joss have Joss on the butt cap so I'm thinking this cue is a Falcon.

When I worked at a billiard supply place 30 something years ago these were an affordably priced cue that sold well and held up decently.

Also, some of the one's by Joss had a 5/16x13 joint screw.

Falcon, I agree with others.

You bought it new?

Yes. Never been chalked. Thought it might be an investment, I think I was wrong.

The biggest clue against that is that it is a pool cue. Even balabuskas wouldn't have been a great investment. $100 in coke or McDonald's in 1970 would keep pace with balabuskas of the sale vintage.

Ouch.
