Anyone want a pre-date Franklin Stunning Birdseye Widow cue with ringwork

[Rackattach]

Old predate franklin players cue

5 shafts -
2 original shafts both are full at 12.5 and both weigh 3.4oz. Both roll fine. One has micarta ferrule and the other has a phenolic type of material.
The other three aren't original to the cue but come with it and are all 12.75-13mm and roll fine.
Butt 15.7oz and the best Birdseye maple I've ever seen. True collectors piece.
Good shape. Normal wear. All original wrap. The cue could probably use a cleaning or refinish for a collector it was left original. Has that "hit" that made these cues famous. The tips should prob be replaced but that's personal preference.

I bet this won't last too long maybe a day...

who changed the ferrule on the other shaft? It looks longer than the normal SW ferrule length

Yeah it's over an inch. Not sure who did it or what the backstory is. This is how I acquired the cue.

Yeah I know right. I made the mistake of playing with it for 20 minutes and had second thoughts. I was never a SW bandwagon guy but this damn thing is just accurate!!!

Part of me wants to send to SW for a refinish and have 2 new shafts added and custom JPs and just put it in the display case!!!

Time will tell. I'm surprised it's lasted this long

I've had a few offers with trade involvement but I'm most interested in Scruggs/Tascarella or Satin SW cues plus cash for this if it's going to involve a trade.
