This cue is for sale but I am not sure what it is. Has someone on here seen this cue before? It was originally sold as a Prather but one of the shafts say Horn on it (it was written in marker so I dont know the validity of it). According to the BB of Cues 3rd Ed. Prather is the contact for Verl Horn Cues which got me a little curious. I will probably have to contact them to get the cues identity unless one of you guys out there can help me. Now this is a very unique cue design and I have not seen one like this before. I looked the cue over real good and it apears to be in pristine condition. This cue has a solid Ivory Joint and Butt Cap and both ferrules appear to be ivory. Cue weighs 19.45 and 19.70 depending on which shaft you have on it. It appears to be 3/8 x 10 or 11 cant tell......yes I counted but depending on where you start and stop you could argue either way. Here are some photos......Can you help identify this one? Once I know exactly what it is I can ask a price. It will be heading to ebay along with a few more Gilberts this evening. Unless someone here make an offer first. This is a very eye catching cue and rolls almost dead flat (very little roll but I am extremely picky). Oh yeah ther is a small ding in the shaft about 2 inches up from the joint, not in the stroking area by a long shot but I wanted to mention it.

Here are some photos:

Nobody knows who made this cue or have an idea? I will list it for sale as soon as I can find out. I have contacted Prather and am waiting for a response.
 
who done it?

If its a Prather it willl almost always say Prather on the weight bolt. Usually will have the year as well. The prathers did make a whole lot of parts for Verl Horn though but I doubt a Horn would have the Prather marking on the weight bolt.

HERE'S A GUESS...........

MADE BY PRATHER, USED A HORN BLANK FOR ONE OF THE SHAFTS? I KNOW THEY ARE VERY CLOSE TO WHERE VERL WORKED ON HIS CUES, MAYBE THEY HAVE SOME PARTS.

Thanks Marcus...Tank138 and everyone else who responded. There is no marking on the weight bolt anywhere. I have an email into Prather but have not heard back from them yet.

Thanks

Well I just spoke with Jeff Prather and he said he might have done the inlay work but it is not his cue. So this is still a mystery? Anyone else have an idea?
 
Well I got a pm from the original owner and they said it was sold to them as a Verl Horn. They only sold it as a possible Prather since they could not verify it was a Horn. So I know it's not a Prather after speaking with Jeff and talking with the original owner so there is a possibility that it is a Verl Horn. That is all I can find out at this time.
