Well, his sneaky pete cues and plain jane cues must have looked very much alike, but not identical like 2 of the same model production Schon cues would be.
Fanciest Schon I have seen

Catalog cues are designed to be identical. Point at picture, receive cue as pictured.
Multiply times the number of orders.
That many identical cues exist.
Lol @ nick on that one
Tom.......I used the link and it sent me to what looks to be a price list which pretty much every cue-maker has.
My Scruggs was completed Septembed '06 and was selected from Tim's website and modified through customization
which included selecting the rings, veneer colors, and the butt sleeve's alternating inlays of abalone & ivory , in addition
to the cue specifications that were followed building the cue that included the shafts sizes. taper, wrap and butt weight.
I am the 2nd owner of my Scruggs cue and I purchased it from the original owner whom communicated with Tim via
email during the build where Tim sent some pics and also discussed & confirmed the cue specifications. The original
owner snet me copies of his communications with Tim from the very outset up until cue arrival.
The original owner told me Tim had photos of completed cues on his website and that's how he approached Tim but it
wasn't like Richard Black whom can make any fancy cue you want. However, his website lists approximately 1/2 dozen
models to choose from like Bushka, Split Diamond, Pendleton, etc. Richard personally told me he tries to keep a couple
in progress or completed cues in his shop for phone orders but these very same cues are made custom to the customer's
specifications.
I suppose neither Tim nor Richard could ever be confused or mistaken for a production cue-maker like so many other firms.

Early on, he definitely did catalog orders that were very similar to his cues at Joss. There is a catalog from the late 70s/early 80s
There is so much fail in this thread it would be hard to no where to start.
Tap, Tap, Tap
I have owned about 10 steel jointed Scruggs cues and about five steel jointed Schon cues and they all played very similarly. Very nice cues all of them but blindfolded I would have been hard pressed to tell one from the other.

Not seen any more valuable than this one myself.

That certainly is a pretty high dollar Schon, wow. That's a lot of ivory, even if it is only thin inlay material.
