    Maker ID and value question on some older cues

    Hello all and happy New Year! I'm considering trading or selling some unused equipment and could really use some help on what I have - and what it's approximate value might be. Pics attached. Thanks in advance for your ideas. Not sure if I want to sell or trade the lot, piece it out, or what...

    Sold Kikel sneaky

    Kikel Sneaky pawn shop find. Dirty, a bit chipped on the butt (near the bumper). A few light nicks - but it they would steam out and it clean up nicely if the bar cue look is not your thing. Came in a worn out Instroke Cowboy 2x4 case - if you want it. 59 inches. 15.4 oz butt 3.8 oz, 12mm...

    Does anyone have an extra McDermott D20 shaft?

    I suppose I could send off to McDermott for a new one, but I play with an I-2 that feels good. It would be nice to have a vintage shaft with a matching collar. oh - I could also use a KQ sneaky shaft 29 or 29.5 too… no collar, just a maple joint (recessed on the butt side to accommodate the...

    Karseal cue wax

    I am looking for some help locating some old Karseal cue wax. It comes in a black tin (similar to shoe polish) with green lettering, and it has a very pleasant aroma. Kinda like Clooney in O Brother, Where Art Thou - "I'm a Dapper Dan man and the pleasing aroma is half the point". Anyway - I...

    What is this? Balabushka triubute but not like any Adam GB series I have seen

    Sitting at home recovering from Rotator cuff surgery, I ran across this cue. Signed George Balabushka clear as day - just like the Adam GB series - but in gold ink similar to an old upper end Helmstetter I had once. Nice piece of wood (rosewood? Colo?) - no points. looks to have a higher gpi...

    Shaft Deflection - can it be changed without changing diamater?

    Hi, I have a cue by a custom maker with two ivory ferruled 13mm shafts. I love the look and feel of the cue but do not play with it much because it squirts the cue ball way too much. This cue was built by a well-known old-school cuemaker with a good reputation. The shafts are matched at 4.2...

    The History of Aiming Systems

    In another recent thread - I submitted my version of the history of chalk. I was then challenged by another AZ member to expand my feigned knowledge to the history of Aiming Systems. The intent of this instructional essay is to provide a basic outline on the recent history of aiming systems, as...

    Do you play with “collector” cues or are you concerned about hurting their value?

    I have seen many older cues here that “have never been chalked”. I must then assume they were originally purchased for collection / investment purposes. I saw a remark in another thread that sparked my interest where one poster indicated he had “too much cue to play with”. The funny thing is –...

    Gus, real or memorex

    Did Gus ever make any sneaky petes? If so - did he sign them? This listing has all the elements of a great con. Then again - it might be the real thing. It has a buy-it-now, so if it's real - not very bright of me to post it here. Then again - if something is too good to be true... it usually...

    WTS / WTT Cases for a Cue. George, Thomas, Mac, Hager

    I have four cases and I only need two – so I thought I would offer two of them in trade for a nice cue. I would like to keep one of the 2X4 cases and one of the 1X2 – and am not particular as to which ones. I might be able to add a little cash if a cue offered really moves me. Up for your...

    Unknown J/B Butt for sale (not Brianna)

    I wasn't going to do this - however...... I have an unknown (fairly sure it is not a Brianna) Jump Break butt I picked up in a recent trade. I do know the pin size - 5/16X18 on both sections. The points appear to be spliced and match up fairly evenly within a sixteenth of an inch or so. The...

    Real Scruggs on Ebay or just a Scam

    I was browsing cues on e-bay and ran across a mystery - but what I believe may be quite a scam. A guy has a fairly beat up Schon and an "unknown cue - but you may recognize the logo". The logo is very clearly that of Tim Scruggs TS. Guess I'm not knowlegable enough about Mr. Scrugg's cues to...
