What do I have here?

Certainly does look like Rich Merry Widow.
Rich did have a decent supply of BRW.

When I picked it up... (super cheap) I thought it looked like a Rich... but a lot of sticks looked like that. The information from someone who has the same stick and has more info for me, it actually worth more to me than the stick is worth to me.

But... it looks like a Rich to me... but no markings. Could be some cue maker that I never heard of before.

But even plain jane Rich cues aren't valuable. I'm not looking for value. Just information? Maybe made by Rich or some cue maker that I've never heard of? Someone probably has the same stick here? It looks like a high-production cue. I was hoping someone had the same stick and could give me more info.

but as it stands now... I'm thinking "plain jane" Rich. Unless someone can tell me more. The mystery is what I like, not the cue stick. LOL

national had made or imported these cues or ones that are very similar to this. likely late 60's or 1970's at some point. they tend to hit very well and make a great bar or leave it in the car cue. if yours hits good never part with it.

Thanks for the information. I'd love to verify that that is what I have. Any pictures of something similar? I know there were so many very similar cues back then in the '70s or '60s. We're just looking for information. Some kind of verification somebody has the same thing?

National made sticks in the United States and then they also shipped production overseas. Do you think this is American made? Or after they switched overseas?
