Thanks Chris - no, the 'flat' look is from the scanner. It is about 58 inches long and thin shaft (11mm tip?), so probably a snooker cue. Now I'm leaning again toward refinishing and having a playing shaft made for it.TATE said:I don't know but it looks like a neat cue. Is the handle also flat under the wrap?
How much was it and where did you find it?

The cue you have is a Brunswick "Willie Mosconi" model, manufactured by Schmelke, under private label for B'wick. It dates from about 1967 or 1968. Since the rollmark has disappeared, it may have already been refinished at one time in its past. Opposite the engraveable plate on the butt sleeve there should have been a gold rollmark of the model name. These are becoming collectible, but are still rather "low-rent". Probably not worth having a shaft made. Doubtful that this was ever made in anything but a pool configuration - the 11 mm shaft is probably also a victim of lots of use and a past refurbishing. Enjoy it - it's a piece of Brunswick history about which few people (including Brunswick) are cognizant.
Adios,
Pizza Bob

Good work - I was going to e-mail you on this.
It's still a Titlist though by Brunswick so it should be worth something. At that time they were still making them here, right?
You know how these guys are always looking for conversion cues - maybe this is the way to go.

Yes, but only last week. Maybe paid too much if I had planned on re-selling, but I liked the look of it and haven't seen anything similar recently.pawnmon said:Did you get that off eBay? I think I remember a stick just like that from about 2-3 months ago.
Hi there, did you ever get a value on this cue? My friend has a nice one for sale, trying to help him out, thanks!
