Rich Cue ID

[Bumpa]

Hi -

This cue popped up for sale in my area. Seller received it as a gift 40+ years ago. He does not know the maker or where it was made. It is a wrapless cue. Please help me identify the cue and what it is worth. Thank you.

Rich was originally a long time New York cue company, specializing in affordable custom and semi-production cues.

Imperial bought the Rich name in the 1970's and started branding their cues with a Rich logo like this. This looks like it came from a catalog they produced around late 1970's with several designs including butterfly's. It's basically a Taiwan production cue, not a lot of value as a collectible.

If knowledge were strength, you'd be Hercules.
