Old Cue

[mr8ball]

I saw this cue today and was told it came from Japan around 65 years ago. The guys brother was in the war and shipped it back to his mom. Anyway just wonder if anyone had ever seen anything like it? It is a 3 piece cue and rolls pretty straight. The box it is in is what it came in. All of the work is pretty detailed and is cut into the stick. The detail is unbelievable. The guy that has it now is 75 years old and was just wondering if its worth anything. What you think?

A few more. Hard to believe this thing has been laying around for almost 70 years and it is still in this good of shape

It is unusual enough that it is worth a $100 to me if he wants to sell it. PM me as I may not see this thread again.

See these cues on fleabay all the time. Not worth much. I would say, any associated story to sell it is probably bogus.

Yep it seems kinda on the same line of cue. However I know this is one that was sent over from one of the wars they had there. I don't feel this guy is lying to me when he said his brother sent it home from there. Thanks for the link
