Hey'all!

First post here, looks like a pretty decent place to hang around a bit. I found this place surfin search results on google looking for info on a cuestick I purchased out of a pawn shop in the middle of Kansas for a fifty dollar bill.

Didn't have any luck finding anything out on google about it, so I thought I'd throw a couple of pics up here and see if any of you guys might know something about it. I'm pretty sure the logo on the butt stands for A. E. Schmidt, but I have not been able to find any info saying they ever sold cues.

It is a rather heavy cue and has a 14mm tip...it fits me perfectly and I use it as my regular playing cue and it shoots awesome. It has a 3/8-10 pin and natural bare unfinished Irish linen wrap. The upper is cocobolo with birdseye points with four outlines. It has six black ebony points with MOP inlays on the butt. One person who looked at it swore up and down it was a McDermott...a McDermott shaft will screw right on perfectly.

Any info appreciated!

Clickable thumbs.......







Thanks!
 
A. E. Schmidt definitely had cues made for them or made their own. I have one. But that is in my opinion the initials of the person who originally bought that cue from the manufacturer. It does look like alot like a McDermott. Does it have the 4 leaf clover logo on the other side? Is the joint pin brass or stainless steel?
 
No 4 leaf McDermott clover....the other side has the nickname "Pudge" in script, which a couple of the locals in Kansas said was the guy who used to own it years ago. The joint pin is stainless and seats directly into the wood of the shaft, there is no insert in the shaft.

I've probably owned at least half a dozen McDermotts in my past. The quality of the last one I bought about 15 years ago was so poor, I've never bought another one since.
