please help me identify this cue

[ISMELLRICE]

Bludworth 3 kings?

 

[Chopdoc]

I have no idea at this point. Maybe somebody else will.


I would suggest we need pics of the joint faces, pin, insert/pilot, and also the butt cap, bumper, and weight bolt if any.

That would help.

This was given to you? Looks nice.

[ISMELLRICE]

Yeah given to me by a good friend

 

[classiccues]

I think its a Bludworth.

Holy crap is that an ivory joint? I think I see grain in that.

I still don't know the maker....

classiccues says Bludworth....I can't argue with that, I don't know those cues very well, and he knows more than me in general about cues.

[ISMELLRICE]

That's funny I had a guy say the same thing about it being a blud

Here, looks like one of his. His fancy cues had distinctive inlay patterns.

That's some gift...and some friend! He just gave you a Bludworth, two shafts in a Guiseppe case? I guess the Seminoles really ARE getting out of the pool business...

 

[Realizm]

Dam i wish someone will give me a cue like that ...

 

[ISMELLRICE]

Thanks a million guys...
Any ideas what a cue like this is worth?

Depending on the year and the no red blood dot there is a chance it is a Donald Bludworth rather than Leonard and yes its worth would be greatly affected.

Cue was given to me by a friend and has no markings anywhere.



I think you may have some better luck Identifing it if you took some better pictures. I would recommend showing a photo of the cues butt, the cues joint pin, the entire forearm and butt, and I take the case out of the picture, it doesn't really do anything except cover up parts of the cue.:smile:

 

[ISMELLRICE]

thanks again...

yeah the no dot is what throws me off i mean the cue is beautiful and one of the shafts was new never chalked...

 

[TomHay]

If it was made in around the year 2000 you very well could have a Donald Blud.

[ChrisOnline]

from all the pics on the website and all the contact info.. i would believe that its a Leonard Bludworth....

The Dot belongs to Donald. If it does not have a red dot than there is no way it is a Donald Bludworth. Plus he signed most his cues. You can email Donald (or call) and he will let you know if it is his or his dads work. I own 4 bluds and I really do not think that is one of theres.

 

[aadamczyk]

Donald's email is donaldbludworth@yahoo.com send him the picks and he will tell you. Maybe it is one of Leonard's. Either way Donald will let you know

 

[ISMELLRICE]

Thanks again guys I emailed him so we'll see...just trying to get an idea of the value
