For sale we have a rare Dale Patten cue with 3 original Patten shafts. These cues do not come up for sale very often, especially with an ivory joint. Old school darker shaft wood on all 3 shafts and an old school hit, nice ping when striking the ball.
Butt - 4 points with veneers of brown, orange, light brown and natural outside to in. Forearm is maple, points and butt look to be brazilian rosewood but i can not be 100% sure, point are sharp and pretty close in length, but not perfect. Dale used blanks from Szamboti and Spain. I have no idea who built the forearm for this cue and i'm no expert to hazard a guess.
The joint is nicely figured solid ivory. It has one small hairline dark mark about 1/16"-1/8" long in the grain that has been there since the cue was new, pin is flat faced 5/16x18 pin. White and brown speckled wrap.Butt weighs 15.66oz, 28 5/8" in length, 0.82 at the joint, 1.23" at the butt. Butt cap looks to be delrin with a screw in rubber bumper.
Shaft 1 - 11.9mm, 3.65oz, 30 1/4" in length, unknown ferrule material, not ivory, unknown tip.
Shaft 2 - 12.6mm, 3.97oz, 29 1/2"" in length, unknown ferrule material, not ivory, unknown tip.
Shaft 3 - 12.7mm, 3.88oz, 29 1/2"" in length, unknown ferrule material, not ivory, unknown tip.
Everything looks straight together and apart. If you are looking for a classic old school player then this is the cue.
