Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for any input on my first thread!!
I picked up this runde era schon from a customer of mine. He purchased new in the early 80's he said. Took it into schon earlier this week and had Evan Clarke check it out, he said it was a nice find and valued it at $1000 the way it sits! Exciting news sure but I know that a cue is only worth what someone will pay. It looks similar to the R-11 but Evan said that it predates the R series. I know there are a lot of azer's that have a lot of knowledge on these cues and would appreciate any input. I would like to have it refinished and have had different opinions on linen vs. leather wraps. I prefer leather but don't want to bring down value because its not original. Thanks in advance for any input!
