Interesting stick I need I.D.- for the experts

Similar Cue Pictures

Did you ever get confirmation of the maker of this cue? I've attached the pictures of mine with the same signature and similar construction.

The wrap is not original since I had it rewrapped recently. The original was tan/green linen.

As the current owner of the cue and an ardent admirer of all the products of the amazing Rich family, I would be very eager to hear more from anyone who has any knowledge or theory about it. By the way the name Mastercraft has never come up in any of my previous researches. Google "Abe Rich and Family" to see what I have been able to come up with.

I just replayed the Gordon Hart interview and he absolutely says he bought the old Rich shop, which was at that time Mastercraft. I have seen Mastercraft cues with a stamp in the shaft similar to the Sampaio stamp, so I know they existed. I would imagine since most of these cues have rosewood or ebony noses, the forearm stamp was the easiest way to label them. Gordon's interview took place in 1992.
