I believe the old three veneer holds a spot on this thread. Beautiful cue, it features the exact same splice angle as the 4 veneer cue i posted previously.

cool old cue and case

When it comes to the age of the balls. The 169.6 gram blue circle cue ball that was sold with the Brunswick Ivorylene pocket balls code number 2-5-5 are close to the same material. The yellowing suggest they are close to the same age also. I do think its possible they are made of...

When looking at the set next to examples of aramith sets, I see several similarities as far as color codes and numbers. The 1990 Centennial set in the photo is the 2nd best set i own. Very impressive specs 1.7g of weight variation throughout the set. The set to the left i have...

I think its worth noting that the case was Joe's also. My letter of authenticity includes the case.

They do appear to be raschig balls at a glance but I have spoken with a few other collectors the 4 5 15 cue ball spot size weight are all different than your typical raschig sets. I spoke with nihon tamadai the manufacturer who's name is on the case and who sponsored that...

Looks like a rambow with a different shaft, the phenolic looks different on the shaft and but cap bolt doesn't look correct. Maybe changed so a bumper could be used. Rambow used shellac and it definitely looks like a old shellac finish. Chemical testing will tell you for sure...

Yes

Thank you for the info.

Thank for the reply, the problem is he has refinished it 2 times now only the bottom half for some reason in 2023.It had developed clear coat bubbles so I sent it back a couple weeks ago for him to look at. He refinished it again and put the wrong year date on it sent me a laughing emoji...

I sent my cue out to be fixed and refinish by the original maker. Long story short this is the end result. I received a email saying he has never seen this happen before in the 30 years he's been building cues, thank you for your business.. Can anything be done about the color mismatch ? Looks...
