Hello everyone. I just picked up a National cue and am trying to find out some more info about it. I saw some of the other posts about how Dick Helmstetter set up the factory and how Bob Meucci, Craig Petersen and Ricco Cervantes all participated in the making of cues there. Does anyone know if there is any advertising or catalogs out there? It would be great to find out more about the company and about my new cue. Thanks in advance for any info anyone can share. Just joined. On my way to figure out how to post pics. :)

Most National cues you see out there are just imports made much later than the time frame you are referring to and have very little value.
But you never know without pictures.
 
there was a guy in Chattanooga, tn that did have some national catalogs years ago. his name is eric sternberg and he was a percussionist in an orchestra. i have tried several times to contact him but was never able to do so. it is still a lead, though.
 
Chris, can I send you some pics? I posted some in an album here on AZB and tried to put them in my second post but they don't seem to be showing up.

I believe that is one from the import era.

I'm trying to learn something, so I hope you don't mind that I ask: what is it about the cue that makes you think it's from the import era? I didn't include a pic, but would it change your opinion if I mentioned that "National" is stamped on the butt as opposed to it having a sticker? Appreciate the input. :smile:
