Found a cue online for a good price i'm just not sure if it's custom or production. Looks like a custom but i'm not good enough to know the maker's design. Lady is in a divorce and was left the cue and wants to sell. Here's some pictures of the butt it's pretty unique in the sense like most maker's i would assume have a unique style to the way they create the butt of the cue. The rest of the pictures are too far away to look the point although have requested but not received close ups of the points. Anyways if anyone could provide some insight that would help.
Can anyone identify this maker

From the pictures it looks like a production cue , and the butt looks like its decals or transfers on it, not inlays. So you wont find a custon cuemaker doing anything like that. Also is the shaft white like the butt ? It loks to be almost like a graphite or fiberglass cue , Hope this helps ,,,,,ED
I would agree with this assessment. If you look at the top right pic of the buttsleeve, the "inlays" or stickers (whatever it is) are crooked. The first and second one are touching on one side at the bottom.
I saw that one too... made me chuckle.... the lady said that she didn't know anything about it, but was sure it was expensive... listed it the first time for 150.00, and last I saw had lowered her asking price to 35.00! if you need a beater for guest use on a home table, than i would ride it out a few more weeks, and pick it up for 5 or 10 dollars...
The case that the cue is in can be a tell' with an inexpensive cue. It probably retails for 30 dollars, and those cues warp allot.
Her husband probably left he cue to her in the divorce for spite and is chuckling to himself that she thinks she has a valuable cue.
or he told her he would take all of these old beat up Balabushka's, and she could keep the new shinny fancier cue.
Its an Italian custom. I'm pretty sure it was made by Johnny Garbageio.
