Looking for some help identifying this cue. My father bought this in the late 80’s to mid 90’s “ estimate according to my mom” was one of his first premium pool cue purchases. He later sold it to buy a better cue which was stolen after he died. Several years ago I bought a pool table and a family member who owns a pool hall said he managed to get this one from the person who bought it and wanted me to have it. Since it was my fathers I would like to know about it and how to take care of it.
What model Schon
- Thread starter Tonyt915
- Start date
Most will say 1993 because of the pin. I've heard from other people that they occasionally used them until around 97. Don't know the model though.
Looks like a sl-9
I have a variant of this cue design. At one time there was a website CueCanvas where you could see an archive of retired models......I think it was a CX model, somewhere between CX 52 and CX75, but looks like that archive is no longer available, and I can't find the model number.
There is a Facebook for schon cue collectors where I am sure you could post and get all sort of info if you don't get it here.
I am no schon expert, but the unique pin (which most refer to as an acme pin, though wrongly experts say).......whatever it is seems to date the cue to right around 1993, Evan Clarke's work. Should have branding on the collar of the shaft that says 'SCHON 13' I think.
It is a very nice stick. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help, I just requested to join the FB group. This is the only thing I see on the collar no 13

I’m searching but can’t find much if anything on the SL line
SCHON stl 10
Actually, it's now an STL 11...https://www.schoncues.com/product/stl-11/
It may have been and SL something, SP or ST, those lines were combined to the generic STL line, combining all the favorite models to include several of the R line.
I agree with the others, it's likely from 1993, so it probably predates the later STL designation.

Just don’t mention acme pin if you want to get an answer from Evan

Yes...they changed to model numbers when they reissued a bunch of R, SL, SP, and ST and called them STL. My SL19 purchased in the early '90s is now called an STL17.
I’m not aware of one. A cool name, though. It may catch on
