i got these around 1998 i think, and they got me started "collecting" cues.
they're helmstetter pool cues, even though they look like billiard cues. they were custom made for carl s. conlon, and designed by him. i bought a bunch of them from his estate through dennis dieckman. these same sticks appeared on the cover of the american cueist twice. the cover photos were set up by me and shot by a friend.

Since they are lowly production cues I'll give you..hmm...lets say $100 for all of them...

Nice Cues...wish all of my cues were so lowly
 
They all look nice but the 4 point with veneer and the butterfly splice are very nice. Nice way to start a collection.

the one on the right is an 8 pointer, and the maple one on the left is what i use for a break cue (one with no wrap). people are always commenting how nice it is, that honey maple stain is great looking. i've been breaking with this cue for 6 years, about 4 of which i played about 5 times a week. i guess the wood screw/joint is plenty durable enough.they're all full splice except for the solid maple of course.the only one of the group that i'm not crazy about is the house cue type.

i hope that the 4 point/4 veneer cue isn't an example of DESIGN THEFT!!! i would have to break it into splinters and burn it. can i get a ruling by the design police chief please?

top for an opinion by jimbo.

that solid maple might be a rip-off too, but from who?
