I don't know, but I'll take it.
I have a wrapless fullsplice Helmstetter, and right now, I would be hard pressed to part with it for any $.

Hard to tell what model this is, I have a model 87-16 that I bought new in 1994. I suspect it's probably worth around four hundred or so.
That model is a 87-14. I've been playing with one for 30 plus years. Great hitting cue.
Yes late 80s early 90s model - 300 -400 agreed with above members
Helm made a lot of cues with both the stainless and the synthetic joint. iirc the 87's were all synthetic joints.
Thanks for the info. I bought this back in the mid 90's and after playing in leagues for a few years retired my cue till just recently. Was great opening the case and seeing that beautiful stick.
400 is what id say would be the highest you could get
I picked mine up in the late 80's in New York City. The 87-14 with two shafts and an 87-3 with two shafts I use basically as a break cue
Helmstetter went to work for Callaway Golf. Calloway came out with wooden shafted utility clubs in the beginning.
Callaway wanted to make a wood shafted wedge with a steel shaft core. The clubs were called 'Hickory Sticks'. They contacted RH because of his wood drilling/boring ability. He got hired and got SUPER well-off. Every club that had the 'RCH' on it was designed/co-designed by him.
