Rich Cue Identifying

[Buddha Jones]

I am looking at a Rich Q that has a window in the butt just above the cap. It has a big "Q" and says Rich inside it. Is this an original Abe Rich cue or one of the later cues made by the Rich Cue Company.

buddha, it is a rich cue from nyc, which is the "first" cue company. some had decals with the large "Q" and "rich" across the center, some had it inside plastic windows on butt, some were unmarked, or lost their decals.

abe rich started there, and moved to florida, called his new company "Florida Cues" and later changed it and is currently called "Star Cue Co.".

Thanks very much for the 411. So this cue would be the most collectible of the bunch I take it.
