Bert Schragers fathers cue?
Wow.
With that provenance I don't know that I could value it....
I have a twin to that cue that has linen instead of leather (not original wrap) that I got for $100. I thought it was a fair price as the cue is otherwise original and very pristine. It's round about 100 years old I believe. My decal is 100% intact and I have a spool of original linen to restore the wrap to original.
That cue? The provenance and personalization is where the value is...and I have no idea. I imagine that was personalized at the Brunswick factory. But I am no expert to say that definitively.
I am very happy to see it though. Thanks for showing off! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Well, I'll give it a little perspective. In the late 70s, there really weren't too many premiere cuemakers. Gus Szamboti, Dan Janes, Tim Scruggs, Ernie Gutierrez, Bill Stroud, Bill Schick, Bert Schrager, and a few others.
It wasn't the crowded market that it is today. So, value? For someone wanting to play the cue, probably not that much. On the other hand, a collector of historical cues, it would be higher value. Hard to place.
But it's good to see these gems now and then.
All the best,

Thanks guys... I bought the cue from Bert's nephew and also bought a carom cue that Bert made for his brother. I am no longer into collecting cues and will turn some loose. Will be posting about 22 Schragers up for sale soon.
Best!
