What are these cues?

Want to get deceased husband's cues (total of 13) into the correct hands (player, collector) but need an idea of what I am looking at. Any information would be appreciated. Also, please guide me in how to take a picture that shows what is necessary. This picture is of the contents of the case he carried most often. He was known as Little Frank, his backer was Big Frank. Someone might know those monikers.

I'm going to go way out on a limb and say early Schon and Sailor. While the one could just be someone's bar cue conversion, I only said Sailor as if the other is a early Schon, Sailor cues were made just 20-25 miles away in that time period and were extremely popular. I would say probably half the players I played pool with in Racine, had a Sailor cue and I don't remember any markings on them, might have been though, it's been a lot of years.

Thank you. We are in Florida, just a few miles from Racine, but I know that players will go any where to play. I will accept any and all thoughts, hints, guesses because I definitely don't know anything.

All the Sailor's that I've seen had the lip on the end cap that Frank (sailor) Stellman was known for...

I spent a lot of my misspent youth in his room in Racine. Good times. 🙂

Sorry for your loss.

Respectfully, I think these cues would merit professional evaluation, identification, and appraisal.

You might try ClassicCues.

I am very glad you recognize the value in these cues. Please be careful, take your time.

You might not want to entertain a single offer for all of them.

I am a collector that might be a buyer. I would love to see more pictures.
