Cousins Cues

I have a plane one. It feels good and I really like how it plays. All subjective, but it is a fairly stiff hit and the balance feels right. I've only shot with the one cue, but I like it. Fit and finish is good too.
Here is a link to the cue, a couple others comment on Cousins Cues there.

Cousins Cues were all the rage back in the early 90's up in Northern Cal. They had a pretty good following...I have one that I bought in Southern Cal. They are nice hitting cues that can be had for a great price (today).
Cousins Cues were made by Gary Wright on the East Coast and distributed/sold by his cousin Ed Wright in Northern CA.
When Gary quit making them there were several cues put in storage and I believe they are now available for purchase. Contact Lee at Buffalo Billiards in Petaluma, CA, https://www.buffalo-billiards.com/

Cousins Cue
I have seen about 10 Cousins cues and none of them had a G10 pin. I believe that Gary never used a G10 pin and somebody replaced the original pin. I am not even sure the G10 pin was around when they were making Cousins cues.
You also probably need to get the size of each shaft and the weight of the butt to increase you chance of selling the cue. Its probably a 3/8 10 pin.

Don't be too quick to dismiss the Shurtz cue......Bob Owen has been making cues a really long time
and frankly, he is truly one helluva talented cue-maker and it just might be a cue that Bob made too.

Every Cousins I've seen has been outfitted with a 3/8-10 pin. I went to college in Sonoma county in the late 90s and there were a lot of players that liked them. I've had 3. Still have the first one that I bought nearly 20 years ago. Very nice playing cues for the money.
