Amboyna Monster Cue, Szam/Mottey/BB ????

I'd say Mottey cos of the ringwork, but James White cos of the buttcap.....but overall I'd pick Mottey.
 
Hi All,
this Cue is a shooting Machine,I come back now from Playing Pool with my Friend,9 Ball one Set of 7 and I win 7/1. One Break Nine and 5 Games in a Row,after the last Break the Cue Ball was safty:-(.

Fit and finish does not say Mottey or James White to me. I'm guessing it is of Philippine origin.

the Pics can not bring out all sharp Details.
I was searching in the Thread Wanted/Sale Section and then make a new Thread in this section,but I want make my Thread in the Cue Gallery Section.
So that's why is here.
Who made it?????????:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
i've seen a similar type of buttcap from richard black but this doesnt look like a richard black cue.
 
i doubt that this is a mottey or a white. Similar design but there's something about those inlays in the handle that don't really seem to indicate Mottey shop. I'd go with Miranda or some other Phillipines maker.
 
If the pictures are accurate and not distorted, the inlays all look a little out of proportion to me. Just look too big and clunky.

It isn't a Mottey, I would bet on that. Those diamond rings are not sharp enough. The joint caps do not match perfectly on the shaft/joint. In the one picture the cap is hanging over the edge of the shaft/joint and the rings do not line up.

I think the design and wood combination is interesting but the overall fit and finish of the cue does not look like the work of one of the American Masters. Factor in the posters previous pride in a Ginacue copy that cost as much as the original and I think we can rule out Schick, White, Mottey, Stroud, Black Boar, or Ernie.

I guess maybe Black could of done it, but I dont think so.

I agree with the consensus: Phillipines or somewhere close, not a top American maker.
 
I don't know why,but the Phillipinos seem to favor wrapless cues. This cue is nowhere close to a master cuemaker's work. I think you might be dissing both the cuemakers you mentioned and your fellow AZer's by implying that stick is by one of those masters.
 
I agree that is Philipino. The work and design are very similar to all the cues you see from there.

that was my first thought but i didn't think he collected anything but american made cues, i'm not sure why i thought this, so i ruled that out. i guess we'll have to wait till he lifts the suspense :rolleyes: :)
