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.

Think you got something there Tikkler would like for his collection.
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:
