Kersenbrock or Franklin

[poolrod]

This cue is a beast, 20.5oz and 13.45 mm shafts. It plays as sweet as it looks.

How is the tip of the pin bored out? That’s the tell for many.

kersenbrock is my call... his pins had a bigger bore than the standard SW pin

Kers in my thought with 70% confidence, possibly 73.3525% if you want the precise answer.

I’d email Laurie pics and see if she will do a LoA for you on it. If she would do it, I’d get that.

Very nice cue

The LOA didn’t help ha ha.

 

[ribdoner]

keep in mind that J & L got a ton of parts from K when they bought

as far as i know all K cues had the big hole pin, as did the SW cues for years after the took over

so other things are of greater significance when trying to id, ie., with type of inlays carrying a considerable weight

The LOA didn’t help ha ha.

I realize that's got to be a little frustrating. But either way it's a sweet cue.

That is too funny. I had a cue that had an LOA from her saying it was an early SW and one from DPK/Young claiming he built it. Unfortunately, she may be unaware of the collectability value from one to the other and that this is a BIG swing. It is unfortunate though, but even the most knowledgeable people are not going to know with 100% certainty all the time.

Also, multiple people who are well known and respected as being "THE" authorities can differ in opinions on cues and their origins.

Moral of the story... cuemakers should identify your cues. It might be your only legacy.
