Need help with info on a cue

[spanky79]

A friend was given this cue for his uncle and was told it was a 1973 hand made cue.
Any help is great, thanks

The but cap looks like a McDermott(sp)

Early McDermott, made by Jim McDermott. A very good cue!

Model C-6 McDermott, was introduced in 1980, nylon wrap standard. Original retail $110.00 and just slightly higher with irish linen.

Funny thing about McDermotts, when I starting playing in the late 80s, they were looked upon as cues that hacks used because they did not know any better. All the "good" players used a Joss or a custom (Lambros was huge name in MA for one).

Now it seems they are more highly regarded. An early 80s McD is probably worth quite a bit more than when it was new if it's in good shape.

fyi, if you tried to sell, you will have a tough time getting 690. If I had to guess, in this economy, I would say it could fetch around $400 or so if you found the right buyer.
