Such a classic and classy design. Around 15 or so years ago my buddy had a cue made by a local guy. He bought an old, 60’s he was told, fullsplice and had it converted to look like his favorite Balabushka. He ended up gifting my the cue after I helped him sell his collection while he was...

I have had both Malis with both pins and I prefer their 3/8x10. It looks all original to me. Here is a thread with a big pin Mali and a catalog scan. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/mali-trophy-series-pics.453741/

Mali. The gap between the points is the give away.

That does not look like BRW to me. Looks like good old EIR.

I plan on using it as is.

Well, since you asked. $9.99.

I realized I left my power supply to my older Mac air at school so I decided to stop by Good Will on the off chance they had one. I always go down the sporting aisle first on the way to electronics and did not notice anything of desire. No power supply, but I as walked down the electronics...

2nd from the right reminds me off a Sal Rich of New York just before the Imperial buyout. The last on right reminds me of an early Mali that would have a sticker by the joint, with the buttsleeve replaced.

The logo in the joint collar is 93 only, and that is when Bob left. The second shaft is also a Schon as it has the phenolic sleeve over the pilot. Since your pin is a standard 5/16/x14, you would need to have the ID and OD of the pin. Pre 93 shafts will not fit on post 93 pins, but post 93...

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...
