I first played with a Cousins around 30 years ago at Buffalo Billiards in Cotati, CA. I got a Viking Merry Widow, which was around $120 give or take. I wanted a Cousins, but it was closer to $300. They played great, but never became popular nor valuable. My stepdad picked up #36 when the...

I really dig the butt sleeve on that cue. Before I knew what WICO points were, I passed on a full splice house cue with WICO points and a WICO sticker on it. Foolish me. I didn't want a cue with plastic in it.

Looks like an old Brunswick medalist with a Schmelke joint.

I'm thinking around $1k, though I have a feeling that a decent table installed and setup is closer to $2k.

Ideally I’d love a 9ft, but I think I will need to settle on an 8ft. My budget, well low at the moment. I don’t need a gold crown, but I also don’t want to waste money on shit. I took my son out to shoot this weekend and he asked how much a table cost, so I started thinking it might be nice...

I’m kinda looking for a table and would love a list of does and don’ts when looking over a table. I did find one table that might be a nice little table, though my ignorance on tables runs deep. It has a three piece 1” OIS slate by Garbarino and sons. I can’t find a label on the table though.

I’m sure this is a complete unknown, but I figured I would post it anyway. I found this at a thrift shop yesterday. It is light, fat and feels stiff. Hard to tell from the pics, but the joint and buttcap are black linen phenolic.

I’m pretty good at ID’ing unknown cues, but this one is pretty simple with a few potential ID’ing features. Not sure what kind of wood Brown phenolic joint rings Roughly 57” Ferrule is reminiscent of 80’s McDermott fiber Black buttcap with a simple screw in bumper, no weight bolt. Brass...

Cool player on the bay https://www.ebay.com/itm/225510660369?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335988529&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

That is a rich with KaoKao points. I saw the same cue at a pool hall last year.

I found this on a small road trip when I stopped at a pawn shop. Lucky for me they had it marked as “Philippines” cue. A buddy had a real simple Phillippi sneaky years ago that played great, but I can’t say I hear much about them anymore. What’s the general consensus on these?

If the pin is 5/16x18, I throw the idea of Dale Patten into the ring.

I’ll back the Kao Kao assumption. Or possibly the same factory that put out Nick Varner cues post Falcon.

I guess I’m cheap. I don’t think I would have paid more than $20 for a KaoKao made cue. I passed on one just like that for $25. Just an fyi, take note of the buttcap screw, how the buttcap looks under the bumper and remember that pin. That should save you in the future.

Everything is for sale for the right price

My first cue was a Viking I got for my 14th birthday. I foolishly sold it when I got into custom cues around 17 years ago. BEM PJ with a big pin. This is my only Viking at the moment. A-450 from the 80’s if I recall.

Leave it as is. It is a nice and collectible Palmer.

I just noticed the aluminum pilot. I’d look at older National and Gandy catalogs. Or maybe an old AE Schmidt catalog.

Karl Mayer kinda feel to it.
