Only Rich, Paradise, and Balabushka come to mind when I think of late 50‘s cue makers on the East Coast. Click to expand... No idea, but probably not Balabushka. Might be worth contacting Paul Rubino for his opinion.

Could the unusual black joint on this cue be along the same line of thought, and another possible link to Lassiter besides the “Wimpy?” Here’s a picture I found of him playing with a black ferrule later in his career. (I believe the picture is WildWing’s.)
