Please post pictures of your favorite 60-90's era cue! (All makes and models welcome, Production or Custom!)

Love my Hueblers, & that Brunswick holds my interest currently.
But my very most favorite is my Lew Stone.

Thanks! :thumbup:

I hope these are examples you might enjoy. They are not run-of-the-mill designs. Both are constructed differently, and the Kersh is much nicer, but I do feel that they share some similar design elements. While I generally like traditionally sharp 4 or 6 pointers, I also love odd cues and I don't know why I'm drawn to these two, but I am.


Mine:
Hagan from the sometime in the 80's

Not mine, but I want it....
Kersenbrock Duality. Likely made in the 80's as well.

I traded the Mottey cue (10-'91) the Christmas before last to get my Prewitt cue. It played like a silk scarf in your hands..........smooth and wonderful. The Schon is from 1985 and was a design collaboration between Bob Runde and myself combining R series cue designs but I had him make all inlays jumbo size.......I still love the look but the cue sits in my closet....... this cue has some interesting history behind it and became an infuriating experience for Bob which I still regret to this day.......what a splendid person Mr. Runde is......a genuine class act.

Frey on the right, Scruggs on the left. I've owned & played hundreds of cues. None played better than these two.
 
Top to bottom:

Schon STL 17 (1993)
GEM (Gary Medlin, Lake Charles, LA, 1991)
Joss J11 (1987-ish)

Then comes a Carolina Custom and a McDermott J/B, both in the 2010 timeframe...

All you have to do is send me a check, and you could have it :)
It is a beautitul Kersenbrock, and it plays Jam up.
Best,
Ken

I believe this cue to be an old school pre-split Joss, but I'm not sure. It should fall into the 60's to 90's years. It's the nearest cue in the first pic If anyone has an opinion as to who made this cue, I'm all ears. Thanks for looking.

Love that Schon cue.

This is a cool thread. Cues from 80's-90's were what got me hooked.

An old Abe Rich cue. It came with a sweet Tad shaft... Man that cue played stiff! I gave away the butt and original shaft to a guy who was really interested in pool, but just starting out. It was made in the late 60's or early 70's.

I don't have pics of my old Adam JR-9, but I'll see if I can dig them up. That was a great looking cue.
 
a couple of 1960's Vikings

I should really do a group pic of my old Vikings some day.These are two of my favorites . Deluxe Champion with Spain points and a Champion with Palmer points.

A person I knew had that 'R' series cue; I tried to get him to sell it to me numerous times, no luck. He eventually lost it after leaving it on the roof of his car and not realizing it:groucho: Bad luck for both of us:(
I've never seen another one like it.
