I just got this cue and I don't know who could have made it. The butt seems to be maybe cocobolo, and there are some rings in the butt sleeve that are maple with cocobolo windows and dashes. The cue has a steel/joint and an unusual pin.

Can anyone identify this cue?

Sorry but this cue looks unlike anything I have ever seen in over 30 years of being around pool.
 
after getting better at cue making, the original maker of that cue, bought it back from the original owner, and threw it away!
a bum, rummaging through the trash, salvaged it from gus szamboti's rubbish can....
 
Don't get your hopes up.

I think we can safely rule out paradise, and it doesn't look like any huebler I've ever seen. The pin is very odd and there is no nylon insert. If you want my opinion, I would say some overseas import or some sort of homemade job. But that's just my opinion. It is different and I bid on it too, so take that for what it's worth.

I realy have no idea, other than to say it is probably a 1970's cue, and is someones early work. the pin says a lot about the machinests lack of experience as a "cuemaker" so I would guess he was not trained in a factory. it has a RICH Q flavor in my opinoin.

The cue is a RichQ, however, someone screwed with the pin or put a totally different pin in the cue.

The joint, the thin black material used as a shaft collar, and the butt all tell the story. I do not however, remember which model it was!!
 
Rich Q

so....it sounds like we have it figured out to be a Rich Q

Does someone have pictures of a similar Rich Q or a picture of the joint of a Rich Q so we can see if this pin happens to be ground down or something?
 
Rich Q or Abe Rich

I have had two Rich cues and they both had big wood piloted insert in the shaft. This cue does not have that. But if you are talking about Abe Rich I have never seen one.
 
Hmmm

Well, good point....

I still don't know what it is. I'm just trying to see what other people can tell me.
 
Man I hate it when someone quotes the original poster and puts the pictures in their post too.

It takes FOREVER to load. I'm going to have to close this thread without even getting to see the pics.
