I have recently come across this cue for sale and bought it on the spot without knowing too much about it.....great looking stick for a steal of a price... couldnt pass up the deal. These forums have been the only place where I have seen a picture of Stanley West cues before. Here is what I know .. Stanleys were made for europe only in the late 70s early 80s....by the ADAM/ Helmstetter connection.. from the looks of it ADAM has made some newer ones recently, however those carry the ADAM logo... the older ones have the cowboy hat logo... I am looking for any info as to worth or history.. possibly sell if the write offer comes up! ...

By the way.... this is my very first post to these forums.... be gentle :D

ok yall .. what does a guy have to do to get some help around here?,,, does anybody know anything about this cue?... I am stuck here in Germany so i cant roll down to the nearest cue dealer and ask....... somebody help a old civil servant out ..please!!!
 
.....no idea.

If you're sure that Adam/Helmstetter made them in Europe, why don't you give them a call? Maybe they can tell you about them...
 
the one you got is already one of the later reissued ones.

the "original" Stanley west cues, had either 8-ball or 14/1 written on their shafts.
There were 10 different designs, 1-6 called signed Stanley West, 7-10 signed Super West on the Forearm.
I think they were made mid 80ies until mif 90ies

Only white Buttcaps on all 10 models, you can find pictures them here if you use the search function.

By the way "Stanley west" was created by a billard Supplier called "Joba" from the netherlands.
They made the designs and then ordered the cues at Helmstetter/Adam
This is also the reason, that Stanley West is/was a pure European Phenomen,

check with "grachtencowboy" from the german pool forum, he can give you all the info you need , another example of your cue is on sale at Happy Billards in Martinsried, nearby Munich
