The most interesting UNKNOWN CUES you've come across.....

?

Here is a cue I got from Cole Dickson. We thought it was a Madison Bob but changed our minds. Ken_4 Fun and myself have been trying to find out the maker. This cue is beautiful and hits a ton! Snakewood and Phenalic. Check it out

Here's one...

Plays very well, and I would love to know who made it...

5/16 x 14 and longer pin. Matching ring shaft has ivory ferrule. No markings anywhere - thinking maybe buttcap was replaced or refinished and logo was lost??

- 6 point, 3 hi/3 low, no veneers. The points are almost perfectly even.
- Smooth Brown leather wrap with grooves at top and bottom
- The joint may be ivory or buckhorn, but I'm not completely sure with the aged finish that has yellowed.
- Buttcap and rings are a dark brownish/mahogany colored material, but does not look like the modern day phenolics. It seems to have had some "work"down on the end/inside of the butt cap.
- No weight bolt, bumper that was on the cue is not the original bumper.
- Age unknown, history unknown
- Cue is straight
- Brass 3/8x10 pin, 58", 15.57oz, 12.3mm tip

I believe this is a DPK also. Early cue from one of those makers at least. How many Builders are there now on their own that were trained under DPK or southwest?

Tommie,
You ever check with Judd...? That looks like his work.

Here are a couple of cues I'm curious about.the first one has a wooden pin and an ivory (i think) joint ring and name plate. [cue 1]

The second cue [cue2] Resembles an early palmer. 4 mop circles around the forearm. A plexi window near the butt. Inside the window is what looks like wood matching the forearm and two sets of small mop discs surrounding a green thread center, the clear sections is bracketed by silver and green rings.
i've had this cue since the late 70s.


thanks in advance for any info. Anyone heard of the Master Cue Stick Co?

Master bought the original NYC Rich Cue company and Gordie Hart bought them when they went under. I think then Rich started to import after that.

This cue has a 3/8-10 flat faced stainless steel joint. The rubber bumper was missing ( I was told it used to have one). It has ivory ferrules and hits great. Most of the finish was worn away before I had it refinished. The ringwork is similar to the older pre-Southwest era cues (fiber material with black check ring). The points and butt sleeve look like kingwood. It appears to be a full-spliced cue(grains line up in darts and butt sleeve). The butt is 28 5/8" in length without a bumper and each shaft is 29" not including the leather tip. One shaft is 12mm and the other is 13mm. I would guess from condition that it is at least 30+ years old or older. No markings anywhere.

Anyone have any ideas???

Thanks,


John

Guffey? Never seen a phenolic one but I've seen a couple around okc with points similar. Just thinking out loud.
