Old Viking...any guess as to value?

[JLW]

Here are some pics of an old Viking my father had. Just curious if anyone might have a guess as to it's value. I'm not looking to sell it, I'd just like some idea of what it might be worth. Thanks for any input.

Well, I thought I had the pics uploaded. I'll try again.

My guess would be anywhere between $100 and $350. maybe a bit higher to the right buyer, but around 175 on e-bay.

Ok, I think I've got the pics small enough. I'll try again. Sorry for the screw up.

With the plain forearm you're probably looking at less than $250.00. Of course if you put it on ebay there's no telling. Auctions are unpredictable.

I agree....probably around $250. There's not a lot of collectors out there that focus on Vikings. They made some really awesome cues in the late 60's and early 70s, but they just don't seem to have the following that Palmer does.

Yeah, that's too bad. This cue was made in the 70's and it shoots great.

Why is that a shame?

I shoot almost every day with my my Viking VM28, when I have my Samsara tucked away safely in its cue case.

If you like it, it shoots great, who cares what someone else says the value is? I care and cherish my Viking the same as my Samsara cue.

I totally agree w/ you..i still have an old VIKING cue that i use..i played w/ my viking first before i use the schon for playing ..the reason why i play w/ viking first because i wanna feel the cue then change it to schon right away..can't explain but to be honest ..i think my viking cue is better feel than my schon..but i spent alot of my money for my schon that can't let it go ..lolz

Value

Yeah, that's too bad. This cue was made in the 70's and it shoots great.

according to the blue book (2nd edit.) and depending on the year and condition could be worth anywhere between 150 and 400 or so in 95% condition and maybe more to a viking cue collector, if such a beast exists. but you never know till you try to sell it.

What I meant was it's a shame that some of these great cues are not valued more by collectors. It's a shame that they're not appreciated the way they should be IMHO. Like I said, I'm not looking to sell the cue, I was just curious what the value might be. Thanks everyone for your input.

Nice Viking by the way.

Just out of curiousity, were you able to determine the year or model# for my cue? I would love to have more info about it, but I've never been able to find it in a Blue Book. Thanks for any help you could provide.
