Verl Horn?
Scorpion,
Verl horn cues are pretty much worthless to most people because they are not good hitters, and the quality of work is quite inconsistent. I would take it off your hands for $50. Just send it out, ASAP.
No!!! Truly, Verl's work is quite well-respected and known for the craftsmanship that he held towards the cuemaking process and his designs and care. Do you have one to sell? Post it, and you could probably get some offers, or at least somebody here could give you an honest appraisal.
But if you want to sell it for $50, just let me know.

Here's a 1985 Titlist Verl Horn customized. Very solid hitting cue. Good finish and fit. It's a bit heavy for me ( 21.8 oz.), but I collect Titlist cues, so it's a closet queen for now, unless someone needs it more than I do.

Probably the most underappreciated maker of all time.
I had Verl make me a cue in late 80's. I asked for 19.5 oz and it arrived at 24 oz. He was very nice and told me I would have the replacement in 2 weeks and bang.. he even gave me two extra shafts. I loved talking to him on the phone. Funny as heck.
He had a protege that made me two cues and they were very good playing cues. It was Randy Andersen from Witchita. Very underrated also.

Verl made cues out of Ok. He is know for is extensive and creative ivory work. He used large amounts of ivory in most of his cues. When he would travel to shows he would sell ivory to cover his nut. Stories I have heard tell of him showing up at shows with an entire trunk full of ivory. While the craftsmanship was very good, his cues had larger butts remnisent of Rambos, or larger, and the shafts were also on the heavy side with a steep conical taper. His apprentice, Steve Kornele still works out of Moreland OK and makes the absolute best cue for the price. He has slimmed down Verls style, but still uses mostly ivory on all white parts. Verl did some wonderful ivory work but many people didn't like their playability. Steve has carried on the tradition, although with a much better, in fact great, playing cue. Steve also makes the best custom JPs around and at a reasonable price.

Verl Horn Tuxedo Cue ...
If I can ever figure out how to shrink my JPEG's, I will post pics of some Verl Horn's I own or have owned ... The Tuxedo Cue is absolutely Fabulous and ranks up there with the very best ... Several Kornele's have passed my way also, and they are first rate cues at a reasonable price ...

Verl Horn
I've had a verl horn or two pass through my hands. I've also had a few Kornele cues as well. Verl's cues hit very well, but his ivory work is something else. I would love to get one of his ivory pointed cues. wow.
Now, Steve Kornele....I have to agree, best cue for the money. You can get a cue with recut points that are also recut with ivory....ivory inlays, joints, rings, ferrules, jps....the whole works for an amazing price. I have one of his cues that doesn't have all of the ivory in it, but is still one of my best hitting cues. If you will also note....He is right around 30 and he makes one heck of a cue. He definitely is underrated as well.
