They made house cues in the 50s. Solid players, they convert easily or you can get quality shafts out of them.

That is not a Katz house cue.

The returns curve at the bottom and are not full.





The House Cue with the green rings was made from a Katz cue.

They were made in Brooklyn. Palmer used these for many of their non-veneered cues.

Conversion

I was told to hold off on cutting this down for a conversion to see if it had any value. I think i will convert it. Doesnt seem like any value as a collectible cue. And i have $4 in it.

You are correct. You could probably sell it for $20 and buy a much nicer exotic Schmelke blank for $35. That's what I would do.
