"C" logo. Unknown cue

Don't take this as gospel bit I think it's a Raymond Calvert cue. They were made by Adams/Helmstetter along with a ton of other names like Julio Stambolini and were basically......Japanese mass produced crap. Look carefully at the "inlay" in the butt......nothing more than plastic garbage. Maybe....MAYYYBE worth 5 dollars for a kid to bang around with or unscrew it and use it as tomato plant stakes or a sword fight. Personally....not worth the gas money to go back to the pawn shop to buy it.
Does it have points?
Willing to almost bet they're those junk pantographed points. Welcome back Stake Horse. Successful trip?
Well.....now I'm not so sure of my first assessment. From these newest photos the inlays mayyyyy be ivory but it's tough to tell the two inlays have a very similar grain to them that looks too uniform for ivory. Without the rubber bumper can you look at the end grain of the butt cap and see if you notice a cross hatching pattern to the material? Or heat a needle and poke the material.....does it smell like hair burning or plastic burning? Raymond Calvert cues never used ivory so if that material is such....it's not an RC.
A more complete set of photos would help also. Joint, pin, weight bolt, forearm, etc.
2nd set of photos is from a Falcon, they used bone.. the razor blades in the original post sure look helmsetter ish to me. But the Rc cues are signed on the forearm as such. They had so many lines at different times it's hard to know for sure what the C means. But I'd pass anyway,lol. Just doesn't have the quality look to it from the pics
I've tried to find RC catalog photos to no avail and the razor blade inlay as you call it was used by every cuemaker since the dawn of time. However, Adams' razor blade inlay had a radius on the corners which to me means since they made RCs they would have done the same thing. The corners of the inlay above are sharp.
