Patient is stable with an excellent prognosis. :thumbup:


Brunswick 26 1/2

Marked 22

Beautiful condition. Spectacular points, near dead even. Amazingly sharp top and bottom. Veneers 100% intact, no separation. Darn near not a scratch on it. Ivory joint 100% intact, no cracks at all. MOP wedge 100% intact. Bottom veneers worn down. Shaft worn thin but straight.

No idea what the butt wood is. Very dark fine grain wood. Not black. Gotta study the matter.

Great find! Looks like he has more years ahead. Did Medicare cover his office visit?:D

All the best,

Thanks, when I get time I'll get some better pics to post and maybe we can figure out what the wood is. Very dark brown, fine grain.

Very nice find!!!
I wonder what ICD 10 code is appropriate.
Medically cleared to strike the cue ball...

I guess apoptosis (programmed cell death) don't apply to hardwoods. The older the wood, the better!

But age associated oxidation and darkening of tissue does apply. That beautiful age patina. :grin:

Some seem to think it's only your hand oils and dirt that darken a shaft. If you leave a maple shaft alone and never touch it, it will darken anyway.

Some additional pics.

Still not great, but I am pressed for time.

I am really wondering what the butt wood is.

You can see the condition of the ivory joint and the splice/veneers is spectacular, as well as the MOP wedge/veneers.

The veneers on the bottom are partly chipped away. Of course, that can easily be restored.

Hard to tell, as it is pretty old. However, I'm going to throw out a guess of rosewood that has darkened over the years. The grain does not look right for ebony, which is usually not that linear.

By the way, great looking ivory joint. That is a survivor.

All the best,
WW

Thanks. I didn't think it was ebony. I did hope when I first found it of course. But I do still feel fortunate that it is a very dark wood. How much of the dark is due to age? Not sure.

Some type of rosewood? I guess it could be. But not the classic type we know. It simply looks nothing like that.

I have had a friend guess brown heart, black palm, or wenge based on the description an poor pictures.

I had to work through the weekend and am still working now until late. But I keep taking it out and looking at it. I can't stop. LOL! :grin:

Over the years I've had little to no interest in these type old cues. Mainly because of the lack of quality control back then. That said, if I were to own one from this era, this one looks like it may just pass the test for me... Nice cue Doc

Send it to me for a second opinion.
You might be unaware of the impact factor correction for the janka scale on pool
cues greater than 100 years old, once the patient is screwed together a few times.
The changes to the medical treatment techniques for these ailing Brunswick patients
will be a major topic in discussion groups at future biomedical conferences.
That's no shit

Very nice!! I know some Titlists were made using Black Palm. This looks like that. Wenge, too.
The ivory and MOP condition is unreal!

Frankly, I am stunned at the quality of the splice and veneers.

I like the old stuff for the character, the history.

My expectations are different for that stuff than for more modern fine cues from master makers.

But think about it...the masters sometimes used cues like this for blanks. Of course they picked the best of them...which are now getting very scarce.

Considering the methods, materials, and adhesives used, I find this cue surviving in this condition to be remarkable.

It was a lucky find. :)
