My Dad bought this cue when he was 15 under the pretense that it was a Willie Hoppe. I recently found out it wasn't when I was trying to get it restored. The craftsmanship still looks solid though and I was wondering if anyone could help me identify it. Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

NE? Scott Sherbine, as was said.

Yes, it is a later version of the Hoppe cue that was imported. They were not actually called Hoppe, they were called "Personal" cues but they "evolved" from the Hoppe cues. As was said I believe Adam made them. They aren't really worth as much on the open market as the earlier versions and have some aesthetic drawbacks, but especially in light of it being your father's cue it would be worth restoring. They are in fact decent quality. Many people will not like the joint style.

It does not really look like it needs restoring though, just a little clean-up. It could be made as new of course but at more expense.
