Anyone know anything about this Helmstetter (year, model, estimated value, quality, etc)? I bought it used 27 years ago and it still plays well. Any information ar all is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Looks like you have a model 87-13. MSRP was 550 when new.
These cues are really great players, Ive had several over the years. The bad news is you cannot resell them for much at all, IMO you would be lucky to get between 2 and 3 hundred for the cue if you could even sell it.
My suggestion KEEP IT and enjoy it like you have. I have yet to have one that didn't play great. The only problems I have ever had is the ferrule material used on these (bakelite or similar) seemed to crack very easily on the ones I had anyway. GL if you decide to sell.
