Unique Runde Schon R-12 Variant Cue with original shafts

manwon · 2010-11-04T00:34:51+00:00

Here is a cue that I recently picked up, I am not currently a collector but this cue may change that. The cue was made between 1983-1985 when Schon cues first started the production of the R-Series and it is in no catalog. During the early years of Schon production Mr. Runde it appears made a number of cues that may have been proto-types that were never taken into production or they were built as 1 of 1 customs. This cue perfectly qualifies for this label because no one appears to have seen another like it, and it doesn't appear in any Schon catalog from the Era or since. The closest design to this cue is the R-12, and this cue has many of the characteristics of this model to include the stitched rings at the joint, and above and below the cue wrap. The cues butt is dead straight when spun between centers on my lathe. The cues shafts are also in great condition, one has a very small taper roll, and the other is dead straight, both shafts have the standard stitch rings and Westinghouse Yellow Macarta Ferrules which were standard when this cue was built. Thanks for your post Matt Here are the photo's let me know what you everyone thinks, and if anyone has ever seen this model please let me know what information you have. Again if anyone has any information concerning this cue please post it, thanks Craig.

Cues like this make me wonder why anyone would buy any Schon that was not from this era.

I agree with most posting here, these are exceptional cues, and IMO, the new ones are not.

Very nice pick up.
