Samuel T. Kohara?

Has anyone heard of him. I have a cue made by him but not sure if it's the same guy. He passed away in 1981. I'm guessing it's Tads dad :/?? Can anybody help me figure this out??

Never heard of him, but would like to see pictures of the cue.

My cameras broken so heres from my phone

Both cues are unfinished. He died before he could finish it.

 

[cueman]

I am pretty sure both cues are much newer than 1981. The pins are modern era pins and that joint ring style did not come out until the late 80s.

Looking at the design and materials, they look like recently made inexpensive imports that were signed by somebody.

Of course...I could be wrong.

Ebay Cues From China

There were some Chinese cues up on Ebay a couple of months ago with a satin or oil finish. Try looking at Dr Cheng completed listings. Might have been another seller, though. I think MR Cues has a finished Zebrawood up now you can compare yours to. Hope this helps.

I have heard they can play nicely with a good ferrule and tip. They seem to be a good value.
