Have you ever seen one of these?

I was pretty confused when I first saw this one. I sent pictures of it to Jim Buss to see if he had any knowledge about it's origins. This was the response I received from Jim;
"That was made by my brother George. He only made 10-15 cues"
How cool is that! It is dead straight but is due for a re-finish.

I saw some at a billiards store here back in the mid 90's.
He only made 15 cues ever ?

Great looking cue

Pretty rare cue. I like the look of the joint.

It's hard to see the brass color of rings in the pics, but it really is a super nice looking cue.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what it's fair market value may be?

Ask Jim if he wants to buy it

Nope never seen one before now. Nice looking cue. Missing all finish near joint at top of forearm...looks to have seen a repair at joint or rings/collars. Still a unique and rare cue. Thanks for sharing. Matt D.
