Looking to sell retired cue maker's shop

That item is a Taylor Tenon Machine. It was used to cut down the end of a shaft or even a one-piece house cue and turn it down to size to mount a ferrule and eventually a tip on. Tommy D.
 
If Tommy does not want it, I will take it for the shipping cost. I would like to mount it to a shelf for my pool room as industrial art. I think it looks cool and would be a nice addition to a pool room.
 
Let's agree on shipping cost at $10 and whichever of you wants it, PM me and I will send it out in the morning. I'm guessing you won't mind me taking it off the board to hold down on shipping costs.

While people are helping me learn about this stuff, why are there a couple of dozed brass plates 1.5"x12" between 1mm and 3mm thick? They didn't come from one of the billiard supply places, but rather from a local metal supply shop.

I know the ones with cutouts are inlay patterns, but was he making his own inlay patterns in addition to the ones he bought or are they for some other purpose? As much as anything, I am wondering what to throw them in with so they get to someone who will use them.

Here is something I googled and actually came up on this site. It is exactly what you described and shows how it is used. I also found the little rest that the butt end of the cue rests on.

The uncut ones are blanks. When he would need to make inlays of a new design/shape in a cue, he would take a blank or two to a machine shop or possibly trophy shop and have the patterns cut in the blanks. He probably bought a lot of blanks at once to make the cost per blank low.
