I recently purchased these four Antique House Cues, they all are straight, they all have Ivory Ferrules, they all have the original tips and bumpers and they all are 54 inches long.

I have never seen veneer's in the color pattern used in the cues points. Two of the cues have Blue-Red-White veneers on each point, and the other two have Black-Red-White veneer's on each point.

I don't beleive these cues were made by Brunswick.

Any Help would be appreciated.
 
Nationals?

Hi,
They remind me a bit of some National cues--not certain of the exact color because of both the camera and the rendition on my LCD computer screen. Nationals usually had veneers that are a bit thinner than those on Titlists.
Interesting find.
Take care,
Nick
 
Look like the Japanese models made in the mid to late 60"s ... Also made with blk, red, yellow , and orange veneers .;)

thanks for the offer, if I did not do it myself I would certainly take you up on that offer, I have seen a few of your cues, and man I loved them all you really do some great work.

Thanks again

Could the Ralf Greenleaf cues, made to compete with Willie Hoppe cues. Just a guess.

I am doing some research on that you may be right, but I thought the Greenleaf cues were made by Brunswick.

Thanks for your post
 
Tate or Marvin Eisenhauer who work for Brunswick would have the best ideas. Send the photos to Marvin Eisenhauer at Brunswick!

Sorry Craig, I struck out.

At 54" maybe they are European carom cues made for the British or US market (since they have weight stamps in ounces) . If they were pool cues, I think somebody here would have recognized them. What if they were European Brunswick cues? That would also maybe explain the Raplh Greenleaf cue - because it looks like the same blank and he was also a carom player and the joint on the greenleaf's look like Brunswicks.

Do you still have the site of that carom cue collector in Europe? He would be a good guy to ask.
