What a great thread and epic collection jayman renewed my love for the old viking cues, I've got one or two in the collection that are 3 prong Wico forearms
Thank you. You know how it is, Pictures are very nice and all, But when I see some of these old beauties up close and personal I just get a feeling that is kind of hard to describe thinking about the billiard and pool history and the bygone era they represent. I have thought more than once of cashing them out. and dissolving the museum. I'm very glad right now that I have not done that. I hope other people enjoy them as you I do. Fun stuff brother man!What a great thread and epic collection jayman renewed my love for the old viking cues, I've got one or two in the collection that are 3 prong Wico forearms

Out of curiosity, is the term wico points a Viking thing or universal for what I see as a wider point?
Robert
Post in thread 'help identify Viking Window cue WICO 3 point'Probably wrong but I think it’s a term used for the plastic? Used in the points.
Is that Hawaiian Koa wood in the points of the green cue?
It does not have to be the fanciest cue to be super cool. The shaft seems very dark, is it just the lighting, or is unusually dark wood?
I know. I liked its simplicity. Yes the shaft is very dark. I cannot tell if it is the wood or a stain.It does not have to be the fanciest cue to be super cool. The shaft seems very dark, is it just the lighting, or is unusually dark wood?
That cue is a later date than Wico points made by Bob Meucci. Bob told me when he got tired of making them he gave the extrusion process for the plastic veneers to Gordon Hart owner of Viking to continue on with making their own point blanks using those plastic seamless points. He also told me when the company quit making the glue that really worked good with them that it was the end of using them for everyone.3 Wico points. Unrestored condition.View attachment 745422View attachment 745423
That is a beautiful cue !My first cue was a Viking I got for my 14th birthday. I foolishly sold it when I got into custom cues around 17 years ago. BEM PJ with a big pin.
This is my only Viking at the moment. A-450 from the 80’s if I recall.
