Late 70's-early '80's Asian import. Had one like it. I paid 50bux for one new (with a cheap box case) in '80.
You might get 50bux for all of them at a flea market. Maybe. Don't waste your time or $$.Oh really? That stinks. I found these for sale cheap and thought that one looked nice. I was hoping it was at least a mediocre grade cue. I was thinking about picking it up, getting it refinished, and having a 3/8x 10 pin installed on it. Doesn't sound like it would be worth it. Thanks for the info
That is the JU line from Asia.... the NK series
NK-1, NK-2, NK-3, NK-4
So that's JU-NK-1 through 4 for you collectors...

If you pull that s^*t be real sure you don't go back for a while. If ever.I'll bet if you go to a pool hall late enough with enough alcohol in enough pool players you could get a few bucks for the cue on the left as long as it rolls okay and doesn't make any weird noises when you hit a ball with it.

The cue on the left is a Chinese copy of a Japanese cue.
I know almost nothing about cues other than the feel of the ones I like to play with.
That said , I used to go to a small town about 45 minutes from my house to play and I had told all the regulars I collected pool memorabilia , I am 99% sure I said no cues, but one night this young guy walks in and he's all excited and says " I found this really cool old cue for you" I know you said you collect this stuff.
I looked at it and it was one like the fancy end one in the photos.
I asked him how much he paid and he said 50.00. I almost threw up.
I gave him 60.00 and made myself a promise I would never be anything but 100 % sure I had said , absolutely no cues!.
It sat in a closet for a year or two and every time I saw it I got that feeling of yuk.
I thought "i'll put it on fleabay and if I get 20 dollars of my money back, I'll be thrilled.
It sold for 225.00 and I kicked myself again.
I have no idea what it was , but I am sure it wasn't what I thought it was.
That's why I still don't buy cues .
