Help ID an old cue?
- Thread starter angluse
- Start date
It's a Katz. Likely from the 1950s or 60s.
Count the threads on the pin<unless you can locate a thread gauge
>.A Katz is 12 TPI. If it should turn out to be a Brunswick there will be
14 threads per inch.
Yes, a bit tricky to do without tools. If you can get access to a 5/16 - 14 shaft insert,
or even a joint protector, you can probably use as a go-no-go test.
HTH
And now we know that the Doctor types faster than I do
Dale( who loves them Katz-es... dogs, not so much.)

It certainly is a nice one.
Good catch on the Rieper and Briggs BTW.
I had heard of Reiper thru the Encyp, but was not familiar with Briggs.
Do you know what joint pin either of them used?
Perhaps my theory of 14 = Brunswick and 12 = Katz needs some revision
But I do still think it's a Katz
Dale(still searching for the butterfly effect)
As far as I know the others were 14 pins. But I am watching and waiting to be proven wrong. I need to see more of them. Actually I need to own more of them. :grin-square:
Some of them can be very hard to ID and virtually every time they come up people assume they are Brunswick. For example Rieper ,made cues that were the spitting image of the Brunswick 360.
I still agree, this one is Katz.
And of course I am left wondering if it is for sale and what the special discount is for the first responder. :wink:
