It is not a burton spain blank
verl made more blanks than anyone and sold them
He made me a few exactly like this cue
These were great cues,I sold one to The mezz
The great player from Oklahoma on Bar boxes played one too
really nice cue,someone should jump on this
Are you sure it's not a Burton Spain Blank?
Verl taught prather to make the blanks in his shop
after prather got on his own Verl did buy from prather
there was no difference in the blanks that I would be able to tell which
I ran around with Verl,made several road trips and bought many of this model
I woud bet it is not a Burton spain
I don't remember Verl speak of ever using Spain blanks
but who knows? I would wager but I won't guarantee
So no one knows if this cue has a Spain blank? There has to be some way to confirm what the seller has listed. I would like to buy it but not without knowing.
Imo, whether Verl used a Burton blank is insignificant to this cue for what little $ is being asked.
Good maker, good look, good condition, great price = no brainer for someone looking for a vintage classic cue.... Buy it!
On a side note, it also looks to me that black acrylic was used for the sleeve. Hopefully the OP can confirm that..If so it makes the cue even more classic and desireable imo.
I think anyone who buys cues based on what you just stated is a moron...
Thanks for your opinion. That's mine.
