Tad Cue?

[deep]

Recently saw this cue up for sale. Advertised as a Tad cue, but I've never seen another Tad cue that looks like this. Seller says its an early cue, no logo on the butt sleeve.
I'm not looking to purchase the cue, just wanting to expand my knowledge as I'm a fan of Tad cues.

i seeeeeeeeeeeriously doubt this is a TAD. Never seen one even remotely like this.

Not a Tad, pure and simple.

I would not rule that out as a TAD - it very well could be. Do you have access to the cue? Does it have a number stamped on the cue under the bumper. Fred could ID the cue easily.

I'd say JW before TAD.

Unfortunately the cue is for sale in Japan so I have no access to it. The seller say it is a very early cue, approximately 50 years old, says it does have a serial number but will jot disclose it.

My thoughts exactly, and I know Tad from the very beginning.

No way that's right! Tad was making very plain cues back then.
