If I recall it has to do with the type of work, more manual labor, and from an earlier age.

Another thing of note regarding cue sizes from the past, men had larger hands on average while being shorter than the average height presently.

Joe Calluca?

if you like the cue, keep it. Personally the cue is not my aesthetic, and if you are buying the cue to make money on it in the long run, you might want to consider how others may look at the design work.

The value in the cue to you may or may not be 1500. Will it increase in value or decrease in value, who is to say? If I bought a cue that was advertised as straight and had a roll in it, I’d either be requesting a substantial discount or it would go back.

Sounds like a Schon. I’d keep it as original as possible. A new shaft would not detract value, but may make selling it easier if one wanted to play with it.

the ebony nose is going to move the rock with ease. Great looking build

The first one is Taiwanese, I believe RaJay, though maybe an early Kao Kao made. The second one reminds me of a fancy Brunswick import, possibly also Taiwanese made. It says professional above the butt sleeve. Early 6 point cues were first, if I recall, made by Helmstetter and then copied by...

My old C series had a larger handle, almost as fat as my 80's Viking. I picked up a Julio Strambolini by Adam that has a nice fatter handle. Older cues tend to be thicker, such as Palmers.

When I bought my unknown I was hoping it was either a Martin or a Tad, as I love the Martin style. Mine ended up being a Schrager, so it is still in the Martin lineage. Fantastic cue once I got a good tip on it. I don’t recall, but I think over a certain dollar amount items bought from...

Jim had everything from Dufferins to SW, Schon, Runde, Black, Coker, McWorter, Jacoby, Joss, and a plethora of other cues that I can’t recall. The only thing I have left from his shop is a pair of water Buffalo horn joint protectors that Bob Runde made and a lot of memories.

Per Bob, he didn’t core cues until he started making the under his name in 94.

I loved going to BnB years ago. I bicycle by the old shop once a week. Around a month ago I was on a bike ride and my GF and I stopped at a cemetery next to the Spring Water Corridor Trail. We were checking out old tombstones and low and behold, I noticed Jim’s face inscribed on his. He was...

I love older Falcon shafts. My C-series McDermott is pretty hard to beat. I have a Julio Stambolini made by Adam that is spectacular. My Sal Rich cue plays like my old Tim Scruggs. My late 60’s Palmer has been dubbed plastic fantastic due to the buttsleeve and the way it plays. My...

Is this an old Katz cue? The double brass joint is kinda throwing me off though.

If my Runde looked that I wouldn’t have sold it a few years ago. I do notice a striking resemblance to my main cue. Good luck with the sale.

I ship my cues in 2” PVC pipe that you can buy at Lowe’s or Home Depot. Bubble wrap the cues and into the pipe. I use 2” test caps and duct tape them in place. As stated before, insuring for $501 and above automatically adds a signature. Otherwise just pay for an added signature. My...

I noticed that. I have had McD’s with both styles of nose. The only thing I can think of is different guy on the lathe that day. The D-4’s pin is finished the same way as my C-10. The D-8’s pin looks like what I’m use to seeing on a McD. The D series spans from 84-90, so things can change.

I took a long ride based on some blurry pictures and came home with these yesterday. I think I’m going to keep the Pau Ferro Mali and the D8. My son and I have shot a little bit and he seems to enjoy it. I’m hoping he might want to upgrade from the old Adam sneaky Pete he is using now. In my...
