SELLING: Antique Pool Cue with Titleist Blanks

[skilling]

Brunswick Titleist Blank Points.
Courtland Irish Linen Wrap
One Shaft
I've been trying to identify this cue for many years and have had many industry experts look at the cue. Each and every one can't exactly identify it with full confidence. However, the conclusion is this is a old cue from the 1940's/1950's. There is wear and tear from the years but it's still in good condition.

Although there is no identity to this cue, there is value. Conversations about this cue has included Palmer, Paradise, Balabushka, and a knock-off. The craftmanship of the cue is something worth noting.

Contact me if you have any questions. I'm located in the Las Vegas area if you're interested in taking a physical look at it. Thanks.

Asking $ ?

When pricing it, I'm considering 2 things:
- If later identified made by one of the potential legendary cuemakers, it'll become a substantial sum of money.
- If it isn't identified, the titlist blanks are still worth money.

My asking price: $2,500.

I am located in Las Vegas. I'll be honest -- I have an untrained eye and cannot see the difference between the two pins. Sorry, I cannot say for sure if it's a x14 or x18.

It is a Rich cue. Not a Palmer as stated in a previous thread by Tate.

$ 2500 might be a little light don't you think? What if it is an early Balabushka or Gina. Heck anyone could have changed the pin, butt plate, butt plate screw, joint, wrap, and plastic trim rings.

Be careful some here might try to low ball you. If I was you, I would hold out for $ 2495.00

Hey Joe. I'm absolutely open to any offers any one has. But when someone asks for a price, I must consider all the possible cues it could (and couldn't) be.

There has been so many names thrown around when trying identifying this cue (palmer, paradise, fedunka, mayer, fry), it's truly hard for me to find an initial starting price to satisfy everyone.

Thanks for the tips.
