couple cue identifications

[cheapcues.com]

Hi guys,

I just bought a bunch of cues from an estate, the higlight being 2 Southwests, an older Schon, a very nice Jacoby, several older McDermotts, and a couple customs I have not been able to identify. Any help would be appreciated.

The first cue has Ivory points and windows. The joint is Ivory as well. It says "Expressly for Ray Wong"

The second cue is unmarked as well. It's hard to tell but I don't think the white inlays are ivory. The shaft is inscribed it looks like "SS 360"

The cue on the bottom looks similar to a Richard Benson I once had.

The bottom cue is a bd cue. The shaft is a sweet spot 360 shaft that he sells.

Maybe take more pics of the top cue. Joint pics of shaft and butt. Remove the bumper and take a pic of the weight bolt.

Thanks will take those pics.

Sorry I don't know anything about BD cues, can't find it in the blue book.

Still trying to figure out what that top cue is.

If you didn't say real ivory, I would have been pretty sure it was a Helmstetter, based on the overall design, the rings, the joint, the points - everything.

It's definitely a custom, someone who hadn't quite perfected their craft, but had done a number of cues. We have the wrap off it right now I could take pictures of it like that but doubt that will help...

It would only if it showed the lower part of the points. If it's just a maple handle, then no. What does the lettering say?

Expressly for Ray Wong.

The points end at the handle under the wrap.

Re-wrapped it in brown / white. Came out nice. It does have some chips in the finish- you can see the bad one over the ivory window in the butt sleeve. Anyway, still haven't figured out who the cue maker is.

I'm accepting offers for both these cues, I would like to get $400 for the Benson with the SS360 shaft, and $450 for the "mystery cue" with all the Ivory.

Thanks.
