Hi all, im selling this cue.
the cue was made around the 1920's bye Bauer Dev. A Belgium cuemaker that made cues from the 1920's untill...
my guess is that this is one of his first cue's, as it has the Botle shape butt, wich was popular in the period before 1940's. the cue hasnt got a name, but as it has a red dot im pritty sure this cue is from him. i bought it from a friends uncle who did in 1936 and lived in belgium and no one has played with it untill now. so this is for sure a very old cue in very good shape.
the red dot is really the reason why i'm almost sure this is a 1920's Brauers. as he is the only cuemaker from that area using red or green dots.
the cue is in AMAZING good quality. it even has the original tip , ferrule and comes with a leather soft-case with some kind of fur on the inside that is in 99% shape (not sure this is the original case, as the quality seems to good to be that old. anyway, im trowing the case in as a free bonus.)
i havent made any changes to the cue and it has only one very minor ding in the joint (around 3mm long and 0.1mm wide or so), the only other part that could use repair is the red buttcap.
Cue info:
weight: 425gr
buttlenght: 73 cm
shaftlenght: 65cm
butt state: only the small joint ding and the red butcap wich has to be replaced as there is a big part missing
shaft state: top quality. cant find anything wrong.
straightness: the cue looks perfectly straight and i dont hear any weird sound when tapping on it.
tip: original tip and ferule and is 10mm wide
inlays: 24 ivory inlays in total. (not sure if the ferrule is ivory) and 1 red.
- 7 of them are at ring C and are 7mm wide (a non-even number! thats rare)
- 16 of them are in between ring D and E are also 7mm wide
- 1 of them is in between ring D and E and is 17mm wide
- 1 of them is red and is 7mm
joint: should be ivory (i cant really see it, but brauer only used ivory joints normally)
pin: brass joint, 35mm in lenght, 9mm in wide.
dated: early 1920.
cuemaker: Brauers Dev. (from belgium)
Rings: Red ring at C, red-wood ring at E
wrap: wrapless, but highly carved in the wood.
bumper: leather red bumper

they where made in the same area as the Brunswick Balk collenders.
here are some pictures, but they dont do the cue justice. as its late and i dont have good lightning. more pictures can be asked for.
the cue is ready for daily playing if wished, and exept from the butt-ring, there isnt really anything i would change. would make a nice Xmas gift for anyone who is into old cue's, and likes something different. i dont think old 1900's cue's from european cuemakers come along every day.
The bottle shape is also REALLY a feature u dont see often. its been used by some belgium and france cuemakers.
Offers can be pm'ed.
this is the first cue im offering, and there will be more to come . i defently got the old-collectable-cue-fetishisme.
