The bumper looks like a Schon bumper but this is definitely not a Schon.

Yeah, there is a thin unfinished ring that was on the screw under the bumper to make it stick out farther. Pretty sure the bumper was replaced or the maker had a deadline

Nice cue, thanks for sharing the pictures.

Could be, never saw tan phenolic before.

That's a nice looking cue. I remember my dad having a cue in the 80's with a very similar tan looking joint collar. Interested to find out who made it.

never seen a Jensen that looked anything like that, especially the bridged style points, or is that a black buzz-ring above the wrap? either way i doubt its a Jensen.

Cool cue.

No idea.

Design point of that A joint ring is the only thing I don't like. Looks odd.

Used to be a cue company Julio Stambolini had a joint like that.

In light of this recent thread I thought this was funny. For those using AI to try to identify cues it provides a good lesson. As an AI researcher I find AI most often abused or misused. Like anything, you should know how to use it.


The seller used AI to identify the cue. Currently listed for $1,999.00

They provided the AI screenshots to substantiate their claims.

So, I thought to show this here because it is in fact a Stamboulini Julio 1 model, in a Schön branded soft case.

nice cue replicates old joss and even similar balabuska cues,

but i would think no one in their right mind would pay more than about 700 for it.
