Hello there, new to this forum. My wife and I recently bought our first table from an older gentleman through Craigslist. When picking up the table, we were getting ready to leave, he walks out of the house with a case and says, "here, take this cue, I don't play anymore and you'll get more use out of this than I will" At the time, I had no idea what it was, but after speaking to the team that set up our table, they proceeded to inform me that this cue may be a little more than what I need for my level of expertise. So, that being said, i am looking to sell it as it would help recoup some of the cost of our table.
The base has two shafts, which the table guys I spoke with advised to be original. From the research I have done online, the base seems to be tulipwood with a green and white wrap. The gentleman I got it from said he has had it since he was 17. Overall, the stick seems to be in fairly good shape, but it does not appear to ever been refinished. The only real issue I can see is that the rubber pad on the end is missing. I will post pictures of it this evening if you are interested in taking a look.
Obviously, I am sure by reading this post, you will see that my knowledge of cues, especially older collectible cues is extremely limited. This cue would be better suited for someone that can appreciate it. I am not sure of the exact value, so please feel free to make an offer on what you think it is worth to you.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Edit: Here are the specs: Base is 16oz on the nose, shafts are both 3.5oz Shafts are both about 12mm at the ferrule, though one seems to taper earlier than the other. There are a few nicks in the finish, but none are in the wood. Hence my opinion that this cue has never been refinished. The gentleman tthat gave it to me didn't seem to be the type to know or care, after all, he did give it to mee for free! Total length is 57.5in from tip to base
