Here are some pictures with information I know about the cue.
This cue is personalized with the name "Mike Paluch." It includes one original shaft, with the players initials "MP." This may be the only shaft it came with as I estimate it to be made from 1939-1941. The signature is not as bold as Rambow's later examples. I believe this piece is one of his early titlist prototypes. This is indicated in the unique ivory and ebony joint, on the shaft, that screws into the all brass joint. The rosewood butt is screwed in place. It is screwed directly into the wood. There is no brass channel for the screw to travel. This piece has 48 circular inlays of ivory, ebony, and mother of pearl. It features a green Irish linen wrap, with the classic 4 rosewood points. The points are embraced by 4 colored veneers. The ivory tip is very small (11.0) All of this amazing rarity is in original and untampered with condition. The shaft has a warp due to it's age. Any additional information regarding this cue would be greatly appreciated!! What do you think Rambow experts?

He was able to afford a level 5 Rambow, while working part time at a pool hall, and attending trade school to become a barber. Sounds like Paluch could cut anything. The so. Did not know the exact years either cue was purchased, but did say that he had sold them himself after his father had passed away.
