Could anyone help identify this cue?

[Bastian]

Hi folks,
I'm trying to help a friend identify his cue.. I'm guessing all the dealers who might know only watch this section so please speak up if you have any info. It could potentially be for sale once identified and appraised.

i had a bender like this once. looks a little old or maybe really played. try posting a pic of half the cue in 1 pic forearm then buttsleeve

 

[ChrisOnline]

my guess is mohawk...

Here's one of the whole forearm..

how many points 3 high and 3 low. deff not a sw. i dont know mohawk well. my bender was close buttsleeve was different

 

[BurbaCues]

Mace, Gilbert,Coker? Mohawk's had a brass pin. Just my 2cents.

 

[Panhdlce]

it may be a Gilbert

 

[Bastian]

Yep.. 3 high, 3 low..
I really appreciate the help folks! It is supposed to be 25+ years old..

i was thinking older Gilbert.i would say it is definitely not a Bender.

 

[the9ballroller]

gilbert is my vote

25+yrs? how long had andy been makin cues. i dont think 25yrs +.
blue book says:
mace 1987
bender 1988
glibert 1989
coker 1990

do you have a pic of under the bumper. that might help alot too. seeing the weight bolt.

 

[masonh]

he didn't say 25 years in the beginning,but Andy is definitely not a possibility anymore.

 

[dave sutton]

im thumbing through 3rd blue book and nothing so far. dpk used 3/8x11

 

[nick serdula]

I don't know about the 25 years

But I thought it was one of Rick Howards early cues from the start.

maybe he is mistaken on the age. that would make it prety hard to identify

 

[KOINNKID]

Olney get my vote.

 

[Bastian]

We may very well be mistaken on the age.. that's why I didn't mention in the beginning. I figured we could narrow it down, then get the pics off to specific makers for verification and hopefully find a match.

 

[dave sutton]

i think we can tell you what its not easier. not a sw not a dpk. every other cuemaker falls around the same place for that cue within a few hundered or less. not a multiple thousand $ cue. im sure u could get a few hundred or possibly a trade for it. what did your friend pay for it and who did he get it from.

 

[Bastian]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.. If it turns out to be one of the cuemakers still available for work, I know he'd be more interested in having it refinished, as he's quite happy with the hit. If it turned out to be older, or by someone not as easily contacted, it would have been less reasonable to do so.

Thanks again for all the input!

It's not one of Ricks.. The butt plate is too long and the points are spaced too far apart. Sure bet it's not one of his.
