This cue has a signature on the butt, I don't recognize it and am not sure what the last name is?

It says, 'doug leech'. Don't know if he is a cue maker, but seems to play in Ohio.
I think he lives in Wheeling W.V. if it's the same guy he is apparently a player and a cue maker. I base the cue maker part only because I found a post on Facebook where someone asked him "How's that cue coming" I have reached out to him I'll let you know if I hear back.
 
So I got confirmation from the maker of this cue. He was the Doug Leech on Facebook. This is what he told me. "Yes that is one i made many years ago. It was when i first started making cues. I made them and was giving them to friends and family"
 
Isnt it funny that now we know the name, if you look at it again, its quite obvious.
Heuristics.
I have been collecting cues for 30 years. Many of these are house cues that are in great shape.
I have been saving them to cut and make simple sneaky Petes.

I now have the time to start this hobby and need to find a way of signing them. A pen or a sharpy under finish may work, if I work on my penmanship.
Charles Kimmel is not an option now.

I like the way Clay Etheridge did His Showcase sneaky Pete's, He just stamped an 'S' on the butt.

Yes! I wonder if Clay is still around? When I first started collecting production cues, Showcase was my main scorce.
I bought a Viking 3 point, with Wico veneers from him.
He threw in a butterfly case which I still use on occasion.
My daughter always loved that cue so I gave it to her once she got her own table.
I would love to find another to replace it in my collection.

I wish you the best of luck in your venture.
