Early Viking cues

[jkmarshall_cues]

I have a friend wanting to learn about the early years When Mr. Hart was making Viking cues. Can anyone steer me to info regarding those very early cue building days that would help inform my friend Jay Fishbein's wishes??
Jayman, are you knowledgeable about those days and cues?? I would like to find out any info available, brochures, documents, articles, publications, etc.

Thank you for your help.

I remember Gordon Hart coming to our pool room in the mid 1960's wearing a suit/tie/jacket dark in color and sitting at the counter talking with the house man, while peddling his cues. Then the Super Joint came out, as a young HS kids Wow $80 I remember. Then Ostrich leather wrap wowzer. Swank Billiards on Roosevelt Rd. in Glen Ellyn IL, next to Hestermans Bowling alley.
