The first cue on the left is interesting.
Could be a gem.

I have the same problem as you, the cool unknowns seem to keep finding their way home to me. Did you look at that wrapless fullsplice with the weird orange joint on eBay?

Yes, I wish I bought it.

I think it was made by Burton Spain.

4th cue over is likely a Palmer.

4th cue from the right looks like nice wood.

2nd from the right reminds me off a Sal Rich of New York just before the Imperial buyout. The last on right reminds me of an early Mali that would have a sticker by the joint, with the buttsleeve replaced.

Fantastic finds. The first one on the left with, what looks like micarta ferrules, and the dufferin sneaky look very nice.
The one with the dots in points look like a karl Meyer cue.

That’s what I thought too. I had one almost exactly like that. It was a great playing cue but I sold it to buy a meucci.

3rd cue looks like a rambo, wimpy sig looks like his personal touch on cues. The last cue has some crazy figured looking brazilian rosewood.

I believe #3 is a 60’s Doc Frye, and, I do believe it was made for Luther Lassiter.

Besides the name, the matte-black ferrule and joint seem right considering Lassiter’s problems with glare and reflections and his overall dislike of a white ferrule.

I had never considered that Lassiter may have inscribed the “Wimpy” himself, but it seems very possible considering his history of personalizing his equipment.

4th cue over is likely a Palmer.

The center section of my cue seems like a different material than the top and bottom.

I can’t really tell what’s going on. There may be a clear window with expanded plastic inside.
