So I was in a Dim Sum dive on the Yangtze tideway and thought to myself, 我錯過了20世紀80年代

If you think like I do, you need this cue!!

Make an offer that would be dishonorable for me to deny.

Viking 80's 3 point cue

Probably a "wico" forearm points and a nickel silver joint. Great old cues, probably 57"+ long, not today's 58"+ cues. F.Y.I.

Here is a Viking Window cue from 1983..ish. I believe it is an A series cue
with Green Pearlized butt. Please note the condition of the butt of the cue
in the picture below. Other than the chips on the butt cap and the
bumper slash, this 3-point beauty is solid as can be! The butt is straight
and the shaft has a slight taper roll that does not affect play. The cue is
in magnificent condition for being nearly 30 years old.


I will part with this cue for $150 SHIPPED ($140 for the cue and
$10 Shipping.) I accept MONEY ORDERS only! Too many issues with Paypal
every time I turn around.

Thank you nineballsafety8 and nancewayne for the kind words. Your comments are spot on nancewayne. This cue is the 57" "old" Viking style. I have another cue in the same series and that one is my keeper! thanks again fellas!

New Info

For those of you who do not know what "WICO" means, below is a thread
initially generated by AZB member "jkmarshall_cues" who was seeking help
to identify a Viking cue back in 2006. Read the posts and specifically note
the information provided by AZB member "Tate". In Tate's posts, he speaks
of the rarity of the WICO 3-point forearms. Bob Meucci worked for WICO and
later worked with Viking Cues to produce these forearms. Viking started
making 4-point WICO style forearms and it is my belief that the 3-point
WICO forearms, which this cue has, is old WICO stock that Viking used
selectively into the 1980s.

New pic

Here is a pic of the window of the cue. There is a swirl that you can see but
it was a pain trying to photograph it. As you can see above, it isn't seen
when you look at the Viking logo directly on. From the side, it is right above
the first I in vIking.

Give me your best offers.
