This is an older pool cue that appears to be quite rare, as I have tried and tried to find any kind of information in regards to it and have more or less come up empty. I have only found one other KEEVER cue and it was not a Window Cue. The information I came up with may or may not pertain to my cue, but it is the closest I can come up with and some of this is just speculation.
I found a business called H SOL KEEVER which was a billiard supplier wholesaler in the Philadelphia area from at least 1967 to 1985 as I found two articles from both years mentioning the company at billiard trade shows. These were from a billiards magazine. I do not know if they made their own cues or had someone else make them and then sold them as theirs, as I believe Palmer Cues used to make cues for others that they then sold as theirs.
If any of the cue gurus here has any information that they would like to share in regards to this cue, please do so. The butt cap and rubber bumper are not original to the cue, as the butt cap was missing and the bumper was rotted. I have included a photo of the original bolt and bumper in case that may help determine who made the cue.
The cue has just come back from a refinish and has not been shot with since. The butt of the cue is 16oz, 29" in length due to the longer butt cap that was made for the cue during refinish, as I believe the butt was originally 28 1/2", it has a 5/16X18 joint pin and the butt sleeve stays ever so slightly off the table. The splice of the forearm runs down to the last couple inches of the handle area.
It has a new linen wrap, same color as original. The butt sleeve has thin rings of what looks like marbled black and white swhirl and thicker rings of Mother of Pearl. There is still some yellowing of the pearlized rings after refinish. The shaft is 28 3/8" long, 3.8oz, and 12.8mm at tip. It has a newly installed Ivorine 3 ferrule and has a newly installed medium Tiger Sniper tip.
If anyone has any clue at all what this cue may be worth, please send
me a PM.
Thank you,
Danny
