Yes, on the receipt.

Thanks for this input. I should mention that the 6 prong was Burton's personal playing cue at the time I purchased it.

This web site has always helped me find answers. I am researching the current selling value for Burton Spain cues, so I can establish fair values. I have two of them purchased directly from Burton in the early 1980's (Model #24 4 prong, and Model #34 6 prong). Both have letters of...

Spain 6 point This was Burton's model 34. There had been one listed on line a few years ago for ~$7,500. I was fortunate enough to purchase Burton's playing cue (this model with the Delrin joint) from him in 1993. The best cue I ever played.

It is always interesting to see how fast you experts can identify the maker of a cue. Here's the latest.

One of my friends bought a used cue, but doesn't know the maker. Hope someone can recognize the logo. Thanks,

Here they are.

My Rambow Cue Thanks for all the inputs. I'm definitely not going to have any work done to it. Attached are a couple of additional requested pictures.

In 1964 I met Herman Rambow in his shop on Walbash Ave. in Chicago, and he repaired one of the shafts on my Hoppe cue. In 1966 I had graduated, and finally...

Based upon the grading criteria in the 3rd edition "Blue Book", the condition is between 70 - 90 %. It still has the original finish and wrap. It is obviously only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I understand the "market" for these cues is soft, so I may wait a few months before...

Question Answered I wanted to thank everyone for their input on this Thread. The overwhelming majority advised against having the cue restored before sale. Having it authenticated seems to make the most sense, and the names of Paul Rubino and Deno Andrews have been suggested. Any other names...

Too bad I didn't show the photo with Rambow's signature on it below my name.

David, No dings or scratches. The white ring near the butt has reduced in diameter and has some "shrinkage" cracks, but is still all there.The black rings on each side of the brass joint seem "larger" in diameter than the wood by a few thousand's. Thats it. As mentioned before, I played it...

I sent him an email and a few photo's. Thanks for the recommendation.

David, This is my first day using this site. I have some photo's but don't know the protocol / procedure for posting. Any assistance would be appreciated. Phil Ross (gici@cox.net)
