Great collection!

I would suggest that you post an approximate estimate of value so that those with cues for trade can offer an appropriately valued cue.

GL!

man thats a tuff one...i think every one would have a different value to this kind of stuff...i am not a collector type person that would have current market price idea's...maybe some of the pro's on this site can throw in here...
 
Posted info on dates and trade value

Thanks for all the pm's for setting a price average . I edited the top for cue type's for trade .

Thanks again for all your inputs
 
Are you sure you really want to part with this stuff. Maybe I'm just sentimental but if I were you I wouldn't part with it for nothing.

i have had it for 45 years or so now and it's been on my mind for a year or so . I have no kids ,or family to leave it too . I figure some one that appreciates this era history of pool and will step up to keep the collection intact . Better yet add to it for the next generation in thier family.
 
From the preliminary research I have done (curiously looking for potential value) looks like he has anywhere from 2.5-10k worth of stuff here. . .


amazing :yikes:
