Being sold as one lot of six cue butts - not selling individually: originally one-piece cues, all were warped in the shaft area and have been cut down to 33.5".
All but the Tru Balance (1940's) are 1920's or older and have leather wraps. The oak point has remnants of the 1910's red Balke-Collender decal. Measurements are at 28.5" from the bottom of the butt. The small metal numbered plates were used for i.d. at a bowling alley. They rifle-sight pretty good. Rolling is a waste of time due to the bumpy leather wraps.
Some have cracks in the butt as shown. I have no idea if any of the cracks go up into the handle under the leather. My plan was to fill any cracks with glue, refurbish the existing leather wraps, have a wood-to-wood joint added and shafts made; however, removing the leather wraps and adding handle wood to bring the joint to the desired diameter, then adding new leather wraps would also be a great plan.
Numbered 1-6 from left to right, width at 28.5" and weight:
