CUE IS SOLD
$$$1300 shipped
Up for sale is a 100 year old Brunswick cue converted by Mike Fedunka (and recently restored to its true beauty by master cue maker Paul Rubino). This is a perfect piece for collectors and an absolutely stunning cue.
To my understanding, Mike Fedunka was a a cuemaker from years ago who worked in Frank Paradise's shop and had a strong Paradise influence in his style (note the joint pin and the window). He focused mainly on conversions such as this one.
Butt: The butt features four full-spliced, dark rosewood points into maple. (the 17oz. stamp can still be seen!) Each point has three veneers (natural, salmon, blue) and between each point are butterflies.
Window: Black name plate with the "Bill Sherry" (original owner of the cue) engraved on it.
Ringwork: From top to bottom, there is a mother of pearl ring, a thick black marblish ring, a mother of pearl ring, thick black marblish ring and then a super thin MOP ring, thin black ring, thin MOP ring just above the window. There is a thin MOP ring, thin black ring, and thin MOP ring below the buttcap.
Joint: The joint on this cue piloted aluminum with a 5/16x18 brass pin (notice the small screw run through the joint to stabilize the pin)
Shafts: There are two shafts for this cue; both 13mms. One is original and is in excellent condition for its age. It has an ever-so-slight wobble but nothing that would affect play. The other was made to match the cue by Paul Rubino.
Weight and length: 57 inches long and 18.75oz.
