Hello everyone, my name is John and I have a Helmstetter cue. I would like to know if anyone can help me with, what model it is. When it was made and what it's worth.

I would bet the cue plays nice. Nothing special about the cue that I can see from the pics. I would guess depending on condition to be $150 to $250.
I would place it in the 1980's through the early 90's. Helmstetter made countless cues for many years and pinning a model # on that with the poor pictures will not be easy.

I bought a cue exactly like that from Billiard Warehouse back in 2007.
I believe it was close to $300.
Excellent cue for the value.
Wish I'd kept it!

Is that a six pointer? If so, that looks exactly like a cue a friend of mine had in Leesville, Louisiana back in '91...IIRC, he paid about $350 for it. Nice looking cue, it hit pretty good. Wonder if it's the same exact cue? I've never seen another anywhere, at least in that neck of the woods. Something tells me he wouldn't have hung onto it very long...;)
