Am I correct in saying most, if not all, Viking WICO's are 3 pointers?

That's what I was told.

The real question is whether or not it is true Wico or if the veneers were made in-house by viking, and what the difference is. Both exist. :wink:


Most Viking vinyl veneer cues I have seen are three points, so I will say yes to your question.

I have a 4 pointer that has plastic points and veneers. Made in '70s I think. Domino inlays in butt. Really funky cool cue.

IMHO that would more likely be actual Wico points.

Early 70's more likely Wico, late 70's more likely Viking made. I think...

Also...maybe....4 point more likely Wico....3 point more likely Viking...but I don't know how consistent that might be.

Also, there is no seam in Wico points. Some Viking vinyl points have seams, some don't.

I have a Viking 3 point with Vinyl veneers from I believe the eighties. It does have a seam in the veneers. Obviously not Wico. The thing I dig about it is that it has a stack of 9 veneers in the points! I have never seen a stack of 9 vinyl veneers in another cue.
