That is a great find. How did you manage that?

Bought them from someone at Valley Forge a couple of years ago.

They are so unique and cool I said I'll buy them before I asked the price.

Very nice. Who was the manufacturer, and did they include the carying case?

Don't know who made them, maybe Brunswick?

No case but I believe they spent many years in a miniature cue display rack, you can see the pale lines in the same place on each cue where the lacquer didn't yellow.

I think I have something that many people would like for their collection. They are listed for sale on my website.

In 20+ years of cue collecting and dealing I've never seen any others, I have seen salesman's sample miniature tables.
 
I remember you had this set displayed at last year's ICCS show. They are so neat! I'd love to have the 5th & 6th ones from the top, they are my favorites out of the set. No idea what I'd ever do with them though. :grin-square:
