American made

[tom haney]

Some years ago a pool player/ biker/ cue dealer
in Daytona told me that very few production cues
were completely American made.
He cited Schon, McDermott & Player?
I know Player is Chinese. Has this always been
the case? If not, when did they go Chinese?
I have a bet riding on the outcome of this.

Hmmmm i was under the impression McDermott and Schon were 100% made in the USA. I would bet on it too!!

Come on Don! No gambling now! LOL

Seriously, I thought McDermott was 100% American made. A friend of mine has been to the factory once or twice - he sells their cues. I forget where it was but I'm pretty sure it was in the US.

How about posting it here too for those of us that are interested.

There might be a pickle or a few potato chips in it for you...

Schon - USA
McDermott - USA
Meucci - USA
J. Pechauer - USA
Jacoby - USA
Joss - USA
Viking - USA
Samsara - USA

As far as the larger operations, I think that's it. The rest would be custom.

I think you might want to give McD. a call on that. I don't think they will tell you anyway!

Perhaps I wasn't clear. Player was the only one I was
addressing as a used to be American, now Chinese.

Even years ago when Bob Meucci took a lot of pride
in his work I heard they weren't 100% American made.
But.... it was the same guy in Daytona who told me that.

Along the same topic, I bought one of those Mcdermott
Shamrock cues on EBAY. Pretty but flawed workmanship.
No McD logo!?! Doesn't hit like a McDermott. Hmmm,what's going
on?

I originally posted that I would bet Schon cues are not American made, but I chickened out and deleted it. I thought they were German or something like that.

Now Purd....You told me you didn't gamble. So if you win, I think you should save me a bite of you ham sandwich. I hope you like mustard instead of mayo.

In 1991 the General Mgr. for Mcdermott took me through their new facility in Menominee Falls, WI which was a very interesting 1/2 day tour. It is my understanding that McDermott Cues has since been bought so they could be made someplace else.

From what I understand, some of them are made in China and finished and wraped in WI.

Someday I'll read that parts for Harley-Davidsons are being made in China and I will then consider it truly hopeless for our manafacturing sector.

My buddy builds the automation equipment for Harley (among other mfg companies). So, I'll let you know if he starts shipping them to China.
