I'm very confused how can something be the same as something its not ???

And i've never seen any cue waraped in anything that thick except maybe the old hoppe cues with the mile thick leather.

So are you asking $225 for 1 cues worth of wrap ???

It does seem to be a bit steep...I wouldn't pay that much, especially if there isn't way to prove authenticity other than it's on a spool with a label. JMO though. If someone wants to pay it, then....

Here's the real information if you want to talk facts:
Cortland Line Diameters
#9 is 0.025" diameter.

#12 is .031" diameter.

Both #9 and #12 were widely used on vintage cues.

The #15 Cuttyhunk is 0.0075 wider than Cortland #9.
The #15 Cuttyhunk is 0.0015 wider than Cortland #12 which is just 4 percent wider than the #12 that was most widely used. Can you tell a 4 percent difference in diameter??? YOU have good eyes.

Cuttyhunk is more tightly weaved than Cortland or Penn. I say #9 Cuttyhunk a few months ago and it's too thin to use imo. Their 12 is essentially #9 diameter and the #15 essentially #12. The "#" is a measure of thread count, not diameter. Manufacturers had differences in diameters.

The line sold in under 24 hours and the buyer is very happy.


The #12 I'm getting in tomorrow is premium, super clean#12.....it's going to make somebody very happy.

Somebody did in under 24 hrs.......isn't there a law here about not knocking listings??

Tomorrow you guys can find fault with the #12.....but it's going to be sold probably before I list it....at asking price.

You are correct sir....and if I had 12 they would all sell...it's called supply and demand. If you have some please feel free to underprice it and take the market , but for green speck 200 for 50 yards is the market price....what I'm getting tomorrow is virgin so I'll start at 225 a spool. Maybe you or I wouldn't pay that, but a guy with a vintage cue in need of rewrapping will. Vintage wrap will add value to the cue anyway and allow a total restoration of a cue found in poor condition. Any other questions about all this please PM me.

Well either your calipers are off or something and you dont understand what the hell cuttyhunk is.

As far as knocking goes if pionting out miss information is part of that then please report it , however i never said it was bad.

If some other cuemaker can post about .030" blue mountain i'll apologize to you.

John....Cuttyhunk means it's made of twisted flax. It's not a brand per se. What I sold and what I'm getting in are the right stuff. For you to knock my sale saying the line isn't the same size as the Blue Mountain line is unfair. It's clear by direct measurement and just looking at them that they are the same diameter.

Cortland line diameters
#9 is 0.025
#12 is 0.031
#15 0.034

I measured mine at 0.0325 and Blue Mountain at 0.0310 before I even found the above reference measurements (which I confirmed at 2 sources). So you are right John the line is 0.0015 bigger. ...you must put those precut inlays in with a microscope!

So again I'll ask you to stop knocking my listing.

Like i said i didnt knock anything im just expressing based on my experience.

I dont agree with your numbers or the title of your post.

Whats the difference if i say, fender same as chevy car however its a for a truck made by ford ??????

Sorry you see it as a knock..... The devil is in the details......

You clearly say it's not the correct size and it clearly is. I post a photo of the line next to modern linen and you still continue.

You say it's overpriced,but it sold in hours,three times over.

I ask you to stop knocking my listing and you continue...don't you have overdue orders to build...I mean assemble???

I'm done with you sir...enjoy my thread.

Tomorrow I will sell the other 2 spools before your head hits the pillow. Whether you try to knock it or not.
