Helmstetter cue with 2 Shafts - 4 points with veneers and MOP inlays - $200 Shipped

[justinb386]

The cue has been SOLD, so it is no longer available. Thank you.

I am needing to sell my Helmstetter cue.

It is one of the nicest Helmstetter cues that I have ever seen (in my opinion).

It kind of reminds me of the Balabushka line that Adams/Helmstetter cues, and I imagine that it is close to the same quality.

The cue and both shafts roll perfectly straight.

The 2nd shaft appears to be an aftermarket custom made shaft (from an unknown maker), and the ferrule appears to be ivory (because I can see some grain in the ferrule), and the tip appears to be maybe a moori (or other type of high quality layered tip).

The butt has a lot of nicks/dings in it, but it is really a great hitting cue, and it is perfectly straight (together or apart, without any taper roll out that I can see, which is pretty rare I think).

I would not be selling the cue if I did not really need the money.

I am not sure about the weight, or the shaft sizes, so I can only take my best guess.

The weight feels like it is around 19oz, and the shafts are around 11mm (on the original shaft), and 13.5mm (on the thicker of the 2 shafts).

Thanks

Please help me out, and buy this cue from me. I really need the money. These cues are pretty rare I think, because they are not available for sale very often, and this is one of the straitest rolling cues that I have ever seen. There is no visible taper roll out of any kind that I can see on either shaft. The cue rolls perfect together and apart. It is a really great hitting cue. Satisfaction is guaranteed.

So there was one shaft when you bought the cue originally right? Where did you get the second shaft? How does the second shaft that you bought fit at the joint? Is it flush? What year was this cue made or about what year?
