National pool cue company

Chicago area I believe. That's where Meucci, Helmstetter and others (Huebler?) were associated with it. I believe it was an offshoot of National Tournament Chalk. Several great names and ventures are associated with it or rooted in it in some way. You can follow the connections to WICO....which then connects to Gus.....and Viking....and others.....
It seems to be one of the "hubs" in cue history in the late sixties/early seventies. They went on to import cues.
There should be plenty on the web about it and I am sure others will chime in with better and or more specific information.

What was it you are looking for? I know I have some of their catalogs in the attic.
Yes. Years ago I was offered their long turning machine.
They used single-point tool it bit in turning them.
If you find a straight one, it'd be a miracle.

Seller selling on ebay starting bid £15.00. Would it be a good buy?
To chop off into a sneaky pete? Maybe, if it's thick enough.
