Help Identify This Old Cue

HawaiianEye · May 27, 2016

I'm trying to identify this old cue that looks similar to an old Kersenbrock. It was obtained by a previous owner in Vegas over 20 year ago and it was old when he got it.

Two of the shafts have long, almost Meucci like tapers on them. The third shaft has a more conical type taper.

Notice how the threads on the pin change near the point where it enters the joint collar. Kind of strange.

That's not a real standard cue building pin. Probably just a guy with a lathe who wanted to build a cue. Doesn't remind me of anyone in particular.

It's a brass 3/8-10 pin. Pretty common. He just drilled a pilot into the pin, and faced off the rounded end of the joint pin.

They don't change. It's glue that dried in the threads of the pin.

Is this a standard practice for any particular cuemaker, or is it just somebody doing a "MacGyver" with what they have available?

Reminds me of a David Tice cue.

It is definitely not glue. You can't tell in the picture due to shadows and reflections, but the threads 100% change. What they change to, i have no idea.

Guido Orlandi maybe check with him. Looks like his work.

Reminds me of a Madison Bob. He said he machined his radial pins near the bottom for a bit to get a tighter last couple turns on the joint.

They don't change. He hit the thread with the bit when he faced the joint on the cue. The bit took the edge off the thread.

Still looking for who made this cue.

Looks like a Guido to me

Didnt some cue makers use brass plumbing screws for joint pins?

I think you have a early 90’s sneaky made by 1 of about 600 guys. Unless you get lucky and the guy that made it comes across your posts it’s a needle in a hay field.
