Restored Brunswick 26 1/2 cues ready to ship to Chris Tate collection.

[manwon]

Recently myself and Chris Tate bought a number of Brunswick 26 1/2 Cues. Chris wanted cues for his collection, and I want cues that could later be used for conversion. This batch of Antiques were really in decent condition so cleaning the cues up was pretty easy work. Most forum members know that I have hundreds of Antiques Brunswick cues, most are plain models however I also have a a couple nice old collectors item's. In addition when these cues are converted, I always salvage original bumpers and the Ivory / Buck Horn ferrules for cues that I am restoring.

The pictures below are the before and after photo's of the cues in question. The cues being sent to Chris, have been cleaned, a new danish Oil finish applied, new antique stock Ivory ferrules applied, and new Antique stock bumpers put back in place.

Nice job John.

Did you come across any replacement stickers yet?

 

[Rodney]

Very nice! What is the ring on the ferrules picture, 4, or 5 inches down? It almost looks like there was tape on them, and was taken off.

My guess would be they have been standing in the same rack for a looong time.
Nice find Craig, one of these days I'll join your list.

The shafts on those cues are curly Maple, that is what is giving that look.

Hi Craig,

I've been traveling a lot lately, so I haven't been posting as frequently as usual.

I just want to let my fellow A-Zers know how appreciative I am for the beautiful job Craig did in finding and repairing these old Brunswicks.
For one, he gave me a great deal on these cues, then he did some very nice work on the repairs and bringing them back to life.

Craig, thank you!

Craig is an absolutely super person to work with. I hope we can do more deals together and i am honored that he offered these old Brunswicks to me.

Friends, you are fortunate indeed to have dealings with Craig!

Chris

Waterslide decals like those on these model 26.5s can be found here at Mark Stallinga's site. His phone number is in the text and there is an e-mail link at the bottom of the page. He gets 35-40 a piece for them IIRC.
