Don't hold me to the details on the first cue but, here's what I think I know. LOL. I'm pretty certain these are 3s on the ICMA scale.
First, the blueviolent cue:
Year made: Approx. 1994 - "Mod Unbelievable"
Forearm: birdseye maple/ ebony spliced construction. Possibly Rosewood. Blueviolet tint.
Butt length w/out bumper: 29 "
Four mother-of-pearl inlaid points, very large, including the points at either end of all giant inlays.
Gold lettering " eSBee Cues Mod Unbelievable" on forearm, "The Schuler Connection" below joint collar.
Butt: Same maple / ebony spliced construction. Possibly Rosewood, again.
Four butterfly stacked splices on butt sleeve.
Wrap: Black and white Irish linen
Butt weight: Stamped 450 grams.
Joint Type: 5/16" x 14 Hollow Brass Pin - standard "Schuler Compression Joint" - Stainless Steel Joint Collar (not a full Stainless Steel joint)
Shaft: Rock Maple w/Black Linen Joint Collar
Shaft Length: (w/tip): 28.5 "
Weight: Unknown
Taper: Stany Buyle modified "Shuler taper"
Overall Weight: Roughly 20.5 ounces. Not certain but very close.
Condition: Good condition. Cracks in resin at several locations around inlays. Does not appear to be the inlay itself. Several areas on butt show resin wear, including near the cap. None of these issues are obvious unless closely inspected. Could refinish with cuemaker. He still makes cues under eSBee in Belgium. Considered sending it myself but it's so minor I never see any flaws. Still, would love that pristine condition.
Very rare Carom Cue (1 of 15 ever made). Probably only one two in the US, according to the cue maker. Stamped: SC819, 450g, with Stany Buyle's "signature" and "Hand Made by Stany Buyle" on the Delrin Butt Cap.
*****************
Year made: Approx. 1994 - "Mod Unbelievable"
Forearm: Maple / Ebony spliced construction
Four very large mother-of-pearl inlaid points, see picture
Four diamond mother-of-pearl inlays below each point
Eight mother-of-pearl dots, one above, one below each inlaid point design
Gold lettering says, "eSBee Cues Mod Unbelievable" on the forearm and "The Schuler Connection" below the joint collar
Butt is same maple / ebony spliced construction.
Four sets of stacked butterfly splices at the bottom of the butt sleeve
Ring work is simple maple rings
Wrap: Black & White Irish Linen
Butt cap: black delrin
Butt length: without bumper 29"
Butt weight: 16.3 oz.
Joint Type: 5/16" x 14 Hollow Brass Pin - standard "Schuler Compression Joint" - Stainless Steel Joint Collar (not a full Stainless Steel joint)
Shaft: Rock Maple w/Black Linen Joint Collar
Length: (w/tip): 29.2"
Weight: 4.1 oz.
Taper: Stany Buyle modified "Shuler taper"
Ferrule: 13 mm, 1.125" long, Aegis II
Tip: LePro - dime radius
Overall Weight: (w/shaft 1: 20.4 oz.)
Overall Length (w/o bumper): (w/shaft 1: 57.6875"
Balance Point From the Tip: (w/shaft 1: 39.8125")
Balance Point From End of Butt Cap: (w/shaft 1: 17.875")
Condition: Butt is in "near Pristine" condition (>90% in my estimation)
Slight Bluing of the shaft which also has a very slight "wobble." Does not effect this cue's playability, but it can be easily replaced should the buyer choose to do so with ANY of the 9 standard Schuler shafts (available at several on-line billiard supply houses that focus on Schuler Cues).
Original Finish and Line Wrap
Very rare Carom Cue (1 of 15 ever made and "probably the only one in the US" according to the cue maker.
We have the second one that showed up in the US via a European man I met through a friend. We got this one first, then the one above.
Stamped: SC823, 459g, with Stany Buyle's "signature" and "Hand Made by Stany Buyle" on the Delrin Butt Cap.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THESE ARE WORTH. U TELL ME.
