Hello. I am posting this to ask for your help in finding out who made a cue that I have. I have tried on my own , but all my attempts have failed. I know some cue makers do things a certain way, so I will add a lot of information about the cue. It will take two posts to provide the pictures. pool cue.jpg

You are going to need more pics. Complete cue pics. Show the buttcap...show inside the buttcap with the rubber removed.
 
Here is the information: Butt and shafts are 29", butt is 15.6 oz., Balance point is 19" which is 2" above wrap, All white is believed to be ivory, Joint is solid white 1" thick and .839 in diameter, Pin is 5/16X18 and 1 3/16" long, all ring work is .38" thick, Butt cap is 9/10" thick and 1 1/4" in diameter, butt sleeve is 2 1/8" between rings, has four white windows with 4 brown strips with 6 notched diamonds, ebony points are 4" with veneers points are 7", veneers are natural, green, red, blue and are .8mm thick, wrap is cortland and 13" long, ring above wrap has same design 3 times around seperated by a yellow X. I do not believe the forearm ever had a lacquer finish, possibly oil or polish or it was all absorbed by the cue. Tip of points are 3" from joint ring. cue is bumperless and requires a 1/4" L wrench to remove.poolcue3.jpg

Anyone with an idea of who may have made it?

Not a Pete Campbell.

I am not interested in selling. I have run out of leads and I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people on these forums, so I am hoping someone can tell me who made it or another lead to follow.
 
Good luck with your search. It is a beautiful cue. I would love to have it.

I've seen that cue before. I believe it was made by Pete Campbell. Pete's from Massachusetts and he made cues in the 1990's. I actually bought one of his earlier cues.

I'm not 100% but that ringwork looks like some of the stuff he was doing. Try giving him a call to see. His number was 508-384-2260. It may still be. Good luck.
 
I'm just bringing this thread back around for the evening crowd. Any help is appreciated.
 
Looks like maybe an early McDermott, there are things that definately look McDermott to me... pre-line cue.. possibly...

Could we get a pic of the entire butt in one shot?

That cue looks very, very nice. Obviously someone who had built a few cues before this one. Very cool.

What do you know about the cue? Where did you get it? What part of the country did you get it from?
 
The ring work after the points and before the wrap, I've seen before but I can't remember where I've seen it... Very nice cue, you've got there!
 
I've seen a similar cue in the Baltimore area about 20 years ago. It might be an early Joss when Danny Janes and Billy Straub first started. Their early cues were made with ivory joints.

It is a beautifly crafted piece of art. It's value... Priceless!!
 
That would have to be mid- to late-60's. By 1970, Bill Stroud (not Straub) had split from Dan Janes, and was living in Aspen, CO. making Josswest cues in his own shop. Only some of their early cues were made with ivory joints...most were nickle-silver.
