Need help identifying cue

Treadway Cues

Cuemaker
Silver Member
This is a pool cue that was bought by a local pool room and we have no idea who is the maker. It has been shown to a local collector and Jim Buss. It has left us scratching our heads.

The cue has 10 points. 5 going from each direction from the center of the forearm. The cue looks like it was made from scraps of woods ranging from purpleheart, to different kinds of rosewood, ebony, ippy, etc.

It has a 3/8-10 joint screw and has no weight bolt. The buttcap is just drilled 3/4" just enough for the bumper. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The cue is a Keith Custom Cue, you can find more information on these cues in the Blue Book Of Cues, I have one in my Collection. The gentleman who made the cue is a forum member here on AZ, I don't remember his user name though sorry, but I have to purchase a new bumper for my cue and I found him on the forum around a year ago. The bumper design on thise cues is unique, at least I have never seen another one.

Hope this helps
 
I third that ... that was the same bumper that was on my Keith Kustom Kue.
 
This is the original CueMaker of the Keith Kustom Kue Company, Keith Holcomb

Keith Holcomb, moved to Hawaii in the late 1980's and he sold the company and right to Keith Hannsen. The early Holcomb cues are a little different in style and you can tell the difference if you have a trained eye. Also, the early Holcomb cues had no markings for serial numbers. In the late 1980's, Hannsen started putting a serial number on the pin of the cue, like 009 090, this would have been the 9th cue made in 1990. Anyway, holler at me if you have any other questions, or if you are interested in selling the Keith, I might be interested.

Thanks
