Authenticating "By Ray Schuler" signature?

[TruckerJoe747]

Hello out there in Billiard world. Could someone help identify if all Ray Schuler's signatures read "By Ray Schuler". This one doesn't.
I believe the Schuler joint is the perfectly engineered joint, creating the perfect hit. I actually did work in Ray's shop for a little while in the early '90s, under Ivan Lee. Good times. Pool league and Tournament. Thanks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1462519970...d=link&campid=5335988529&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

Came here to ask the same question. He was known for making great shafts but I don't recall any significance to his full cues.

The only significance I know of is the joint. To me the Schuler joint always appeared to be the strongest in the biz.

I'm pretty sure I've read a thread on here in the past that said the one's with just "Ray Schuler" were after the company was sold.

I doo believe there are at least 3 schuler brands:
- The original - now defunct
- Shuler by Mendoza - Noel Mendoza worked for the original
- Schuler by Jacoby - in cooperation with schuler family
