Picked this up with a couple of Rambows, clearly not from Herman when I compare to all my other Rambows and none of them have a butt cap or screw that modern. But looking at the butt cap and overall build quality it looks kind of like a Paradise or a Balner to me. Figured I would kick the hive...

Welcome to my ignore list

so few makers know the in's and out's of cork wraps, one of the best maker conversations I have had was Fred telling the story of his dad learning how to do cork from Harvey Martin. Almost a lost art at this point.

grab a magnifying glass or a good pair of readers and look for a faint stamp on the shaft near the joint that says GERMANY or W GERMANY

Hope in one hand and shit in the other and see which one turns into a Wimpy Lassiter pool cue first...

yeah the odds of that are pretty much the same as winning the lottery. And it's not like he was the only person with that nickname.

As for the butt, first guess would be a late 60's Rambow but would love to have more pics of the butt cap. I've never seen a Rambow with that style cap before. The joint superficially looks like a WWII joint but seems too long. The personalization on the forearm looks like neither Rambow's...

I vote Boetzel

LOL, morons on Shopgoodwill think that is a Joss West and have bid it up to $200...

It's funny you mention this because on at least two occasions I accused him of being an AI chatbot that was being trained on the post here. His non-sequitur way of posting random musings into the post, that while the first sentence would start on topic by the third or fourth you were tangled in...

I had one cue I purchased get stuck at a NJ regional sorting center for 22 days, then it processed and was put on a truck to KC. When it arrived at KC it sat for another 9 days at the MO regional sorting center who then sent to the wrong post office who promptly sent it back to the regional...

I bought a couple of Bennie's cues for house players. The shafts all warped within a month of getting them but the butts have stayed straight. They serve their purpose of making a guest think I'm letting them play with one of my high-end cues while not risking anything that can't be jacked up

you mean.. Big-Cored...

So it's like a Throton Melon Tall and Fat store, but for cues...

again, eBay is littered with shit cues like these titled "Antique" and "Classic Vintage" with clearly AI-generated item descriptions at $100 to $150 buy-it-now's. If I knew nothing about cues I could naturally assume that buying four cues of the same ilk could easily net me a profit from...

nope all junk, all import, all kindling... just people thinking there getting a deal, buying low, and then turning around and relist each cue at $100

Brunswick Personal Cue, made by Adam

The butt cap does not look like my Abe cues, but does look like the two Rich-Q's I have.

Was that KC Cues, I know they were churning out really nice, cheap Southwest copies.

the veneer work in those boxes is very rough, as much as I hate saying this phrase and channeling my inner Garczar... Asian Import....
