it says "Hank Corsair To Jess" on the old butt cap and "Corsair" on the opposite side.

I didnt know anything about this brand of cue this afternoon when i purchased it and i was about to pass on it but the phenolic joint and ring work in the butt made me purchase it. It came in a old leather type soft case that looks like its well made.

here are some pics and if anyone could help me decide whether or not to get it refinished let me know. I took a couple of hits with it today at the pool hall and it hit very well even with the cracked ferrule. The ferrule is a very dingy yellow ferrell along with the collar. I believe the butt cap is delrin.

Ill give you twice what you paid and even pay for shipping. :wink:
Seriously though thats a very nice find, congrats.
 
Nice find, congrats. The case looks exactly like a Longhorn I used to own, made by Mike Blackwell from north Texas many years ago.
 
thanks for the link, I will give Roger a call and maybe he can give me some feedback on this cue.

Some more info.

Its about 2 inches shorter than a standard cue.

I would be interested in seeing what this would bring in

I don't know what it is worth, but I don't think it has a delrin butt plate, as it would be rare to see delrin cracked like that. You might want to contact his son and see what he thinks it is worth.

Hi, my name is Jess.

I would like my Cue back. :angry:
JK- Wonder who Jess is?
Where abouts did you find the cue?
Looking at the bumper the cue was played with alot.
 
i found this cue at a Salvation Army here in Lancaster CA. It come from a bunch of items left over from an estate sale.

If i could find some info on this case i would be more than happy to sell it
 
What's interesting is that he was doing phenolic forearm cues in the 70s. It's funny how things that seem so "new" now were really done first so long ago.
