I remember when I bought my first Schon in the early 80's I has been playing with a Jim Rempe cue(first cue I ever bought) and had been saving up to buy a Joss or Joss West as this is what my teacher played with and he swore by them. When I got my money up we both traveled to Riverside Calif. a place called Arlington Pool Supply ... The owners name was John and I told him I was looking for a Joss for around 500.00 he showed me a few then pulled a cue off the wall... And told me to shoot a few balls with it ... He told us it came from a new cue maker that was just coming out on the market and he started making cues in his garage or something??? He said the guy was trying to get his name established and he was trying to sell a few of his sticks he would give me a heck of a deal on it if I was willing to buy it . I loved the feel of the stick it had the balance of no other cue I had ever held and it hit like a dream. I took the cue and my hopes of getting that Joss or Joss West went right out the window ...A year or two later my parents and brother where living in Georgia and my wife I decided to move closer to my familiy ...My son was born, my wife and I had a falling out and I was granted sole custody of my son. I raised him alone and put that cue up in it's case in the closet and gave up playing pool to raise my son...

Last Sept 11th my son turned 18 and I went to the closet grabbed the cue and started playing again, 20 plus years after I had bought the cue. When I would play people would look at my cue and ask to see it ... I had all kind of offers to sell it and offered good money and it kind of surprised me at what a interest everyone had in my cue. I got on the net and started looking at cues, Boy had the world of cues changed since the early eighties I did'nt even recognize half the names on the market now ... Had never heard of Viking or Preditor or several others ... And I was pleasantly surprised to see that the cue maker John told me about the day I bought my cue had indeed got his name out on the market... The Cue I had bought is a Schon R-11 it is listed in the very first catalog Schon ever came out with. I don't know what the value is on it today ... If someone has a idea perhaps they can tell me... Hawk 4863 has taken pictures of it ... I don't have any pics or a way to post them. I know the shafts they make today with the silver ring around them dont match up to it in design ... Mine has a broken line around the joint for ring work... Mine came with with two shafts ... I will never sell it and it still hits just as it did the first day I bought it very SWEET ... This Schon is the second cue I ever bought in my life ... After the Rempe ... What a surprise to quit playing pool and come back and find out what a name Schon made for themselves... If I'm not mistaken my Schon was made during the Bob Runde era perhaps by Bob Runde ??? I don't know for sure can someone with more knowledge of the history of Schon then me give me some info on the cue and Schon ... Thank you ...

I have an R-14 that was made before the production models were made that has the broken collar ring like yours does. Like you I have had many offers made on mine, but will never sell it. I have tried to put it away many times when I have picked up other cues, but none hit as good as this one for me.

I love the older Schon models.

Even the way you described how the German girls pronounced it isn't near what anyone in Germany has ever pronounced it, as far as I've ever heard. Surely that doesn't make you a bozo.

As far as German goes, the closest is "shern" or "shrn." In some places in the Black Forest, it's something that approaches "shane," but not really close enough.

And for the other guys that didn't read my post, when I hear Evan Clarke say Schon, he says it like a Californian might Shawn, but not like a midwesterner would say Shawn.

Well, the theft of my Schon LTD may end up being a Good Thing, in a sense (assuming I get the insurance claim payment soon).

I've got the opportunity to pick up a beautiful older (Runde era, I'm told) Schon for what I'm told (and what I feel) is a fantastic price. (I don't want to say up front how much, though.)

If you guys (who are far more Schon-knowledgable than I) would take a peek and offer your opinions, I'd appreciate it.

Scott,

Everything that I have seen in this picture indicate that it is an older, Runde era, Schon cue. I couldn't really tell from the logo because the picture is very fuzzy. But I would bet that it is what you were told.

It is a very nice cue.

Michael.
 
Older Schon

Have no idea on the model number. Any ideas? 6up, 6dwn, rings and inlays that appear to be ivory?

Well, I took those photos with my iPhone, kinda spur of the moment while I could, so yeah, they're not the best. But it's definitely a Schon. The logo on the butt cap is pretty much identical to every other Schon I've seen - I don't know that they've adjusted that over the years at all or not. I suspect they haven't.

Thanks much Michael!

FYI you can always email pics to the Schon folks (find the email on their site, schoncues.com) requesting an ID and they'll tell you. Might take some time though.
 
I don't have a picture yet but my Schon CX-02 is going in the mail today or tomorrow and I will have it next week. I am excited! I will post pics after I get the cue.

How would that burst my bubble?

It is not FREE!
It would take 6 weeks probably
It fills your email up with crap
You have to remember to cancel the crap
You have to give them all of your personal information
Who knows what else.

My bubble is doing just fine and I will have my new Schon next week without any of the hassles listed above. :):)
