Help With Identifying A Few Cues

[stomper]

Help needed, I know the two pool cues are most likely some type of older cheaper import but curious if anyone knows who made them?
When I won the jump cue i was told that it was from a German cue maker. The date is somewhat hard to see but the year is 02.
Any help is appreciated

The box says Huebler

The box says Huebler

Lol…. Yeah I know what the case is. I know the cue is not a Huebler, I have several Hueblers.

based on the joint on the first cue, I say inexpensive. the second cue I believe it is something like Bellville, cheap import. The jump cue I cannot make out what is says, but it may be the best of the lot. Maybe custom.

The first one is Taiwanese, I believe RaJay, though maybe an early Kao Kao made.

The second one reminds me of a fancy Brunswick import, possibly also Taiwanese made. It says professional above the butt sleeve.

Early 6 point cues were first, if I recall, made by Helmstetter and then copied by companies in Taiwan. I think they are also Kao Kao. Palmer, third catalog, used their blanks, as did Rich and I’m sure a few other builders in the 70’s/80’s. Not bad, just not quite up to the same quality as Helmstetter’s.

The jump appears to be the only one made in the USA, though I don’t recognize the writing on it.

They may be great playing old cues, but just because something is old doesn’t mean it’s gold.

I have what appears to be the same cue, but with a brass joint. It has a twin but the forearm is reversed.

They were owned by a 50’s B actor Richard Emory.

Only paid $50 for the pair. Knew they were not worth much, but I thought they were interesting enough for my wall.
