Good basic sneaky. No real collector value but a good player.

Valley #1 housecue, 1 piece were great. I don't know anything about valley 2 piece cues.

it will be as good as most any 300 dollar cue you can buy nowadays.
good for an average player or a great bar cue.

if i wanted it i would offer you a 100 bucks. and be happy to get it.

Do any of you know what joint is in it? Was thinking about buying it off a guy for 40 bucks

just buy it and use it if its straight. if not dont bother. its a pin set into the wood. works well.

First of all - the two piece cue needs to be checked in terms of reasonable straightness of both shaft and butt . Also check that the shaft does not have actual dents in the shaft wood - if the cue passes basic inspection - then it is a nice bar cue - probably either 5/16 14 or 18 joint screw

Ya I can shoot with a broom stick so if I get it I'll prolly just put a custom ferrule/ tip on it and turn it down to 12.75...then she will be real sneaky

Ask the guy if it's straight.if the ferrule rolls flat, if definitely worth the 40.
Im sure your be able, to get a shaft that fits aswell.

Judging by the picture, the pin could be a flat face 5/16x18.
