Viking Cue Question...

pvc lou · Dec 30, 2011

Did Viking ever make a cue without their logo stamped anywhere on the cue?
Is there any online catalog of old Viking cues??

Thanks

Tattoo, you know a lot about cues...what can you tell me?

Yes, they did. And a fair number of them I would think, but we don't see a lot of them turning up. For one thing they can be hard to ID and and I bet a lot of them did not survive having been relegated to door propping or paint stirring duty by unknowing persons.

Of course, those would be old cues. I am unaware of any of their "modern" cues being unmarked.

Seventh cue in this picture is my unmarked Viking:

I don't know of any online resources for old Viking catalogs. Bluebook has some stuff on them.

how old? The one i just got has a smoke stain, black leather wrap, and white pearl rings at the joint (stainless steel). I'll try to get some pictures up soon.

How old? You mean for unmarked ones?

Well, I think after around 1980 or so they were all marked. I am not an expert though.

I am still trying to pin down the age of my own Viking. I have two other Vikings but they are a 1980/81 and about 1995, both marked and easy to ID from catalogs.

Let's see the pics.

I work for cool pool cue pictures.......

ok i got some pics

Here are the pictures i took. Notice that the butt cap is threaded. The original owner told me he won it in a tournament and that it is a viking. But it has no markings of its make.
