I am going to be picking up a really nice inlayed Bludworth that has no markings. Does anyone know what timeframe they were made without the red dot. I have seen a few out there. Thanks.

It will be for sale for about $600. Has pink ivorywood and maple inlays in ebony. I will post picks when I get the cue. One shaft. Virtually new cue.

Thanks for any info you may provide.
 
Most did...

have the red dot...are you 100% sure its a blud...did you send it to him for authentication. He is great to deal with. I have owned a couple one Leonard and one by Donald (there is a whole long story about that one)
But anyways, he makes a fine cue but current market shys away from his cues.
 
Contact him, he can give you the information. He is an AZB member "blud", and usually answers promptly.
 
I would contact him if I were you

Not saying it isn't a Blud, but I didn't know he made cues without either the red dot, the B inside the circle, or his "Blud" signature. That does not mean that the butt cap has not been replaced or a refinish lost the signature, but he is here on AZB often, and, as Mr Madden suggests, I would check with him first.

Thanks for all of your responses. I will PM him and let you guys know what he says.
 
I think the cues with the circle B were made by his kid. (personally I did not like the playabilty(feel, balance, hit) anywhere near as the ones that he built in the early 1990-95.
 
Blud

I had a blud that wasn't marked. He said it must have slipped out without getting marked and he authenticated it. I wish I still had it though. It was ebony with floating malachite points with ivory spearhead inlays and alternating ivory and malachite spearhead inlays in the butt. Beautiful cue. I would definitely contact him though, he will tell you more about it.

I've owned 3 new and 1 almost new Leonard Bludworth cues. The almost new cue was signed Blud but none of the 4 cues had the red dot or B in the circle logo. He authenticated one of the cues. I asked him about the lack of logo and he mentioned that maybe the butt cap had been replaced. The cues were new so I knew that wasn't the case.
 
From the notes above, it sounds likely that a few of his cues left the shop without markings. If anyone out there is interested in this cue, please let me know. I will likely want about $600 for it. If you go to his website, it is the 7th cue from the left. Ebony forearm and butt with maple floating points inlayed with smaller pink ivorywood inlays. Very classy. I may be able to get my buddy to snap pics if there is serious interest.
