Unknown cue...any ideas?

cueaddicts · Feb 13, 2019

Here’s one we’ve not been able to identify. Anyone have any ideas?? Thx in advance. Possible early McDaniel is my best guess so far.

0.832” at ivory joint....1.015” at A joint...1.275” at butt

Extremely well constructed cue, inlays are very tight, super leather wrap job, very straight. 58” equally split at 29/29

Ivory joint and inlays for sure, not certain about the thick hoppe ring

Yep, that’s for sure a Simply Elegant cue

Seriously, not sure the maker but it’s a sweet piece. It looks kinda familiar, I’ll look back to some things I have saved.

I assume it is not signed. If the cue is fairly slim, and, if it has been refinished. It could be a Toeboy.

I should have read the original post more carefully. It is too big at the butt to be a Toeboy. Sorry.

No signature however the forearm finish is much better than the butt sleeve..so assume it might have been resprayed. Definitely thin worn lacquer finish below the wrap. Hadn’t though of Toeboy but certainly could be a possibility.

Those veneers remind me of Scruggs for some reason and the work is Mcdaniel level.

After looking at these pics closely, looks to me that this cue has been through a lot of hands and has had a bunch of alterations. Something that strikes me odd is the different yellowing in the cue also I doubt this cue came with a leather wrap. the weight bolt that is in there I don't believe is original. that looks like a production cue weight bolt to me.
Sorry, I can't identify this cue this could be a hundred cue makers. Best of luck with it though it's very nice looking.

Older Paul Mottey
Just a guess, could have lost the sig when the forearm was refinished, doubt it's a Scruggs, and it has a piloted ivory joint.

Maybe an older Prather?

Funny, that was my first thought as well. Had a toeboy (wish I had pictures) that had almost that exact same veneer combination. Smaller diamond inlays in points cry McDaniel.

Not really sure about this one.

So, mystery solved...older Mobley cue. Got some info on this cue last night. Thanks John, Jamie, and Randy!

I am going to guess Mike Lancaster cue.

Brown bumper, must be a Balabushka

Nice cue and all, But I think the points are a bit under Bill McDaniel quality. From the pictures they seem to have a fair amount of gap side to side and thus not coming together super tight and sharp. Richard Black was my first thought actually. Good luck on the I.D.
