Schon cues are made in the US. Predator / OB shafts are made in the US but not their butts (?)

What else do you know?
 
Viking is US made.

McDermott and Meucci are made in the US (except for their lowest end entry level cues).

I'm pretty sure Schmelke cues are still made in the US.

Not only are all our shafts and our Break Cues made by us in Plano, TX, but our playing cues are made in Maryland.

At OB Cues, we are proudly Made in the USA!
 
Depends on what your definitions are too. 100% parts AND labor? 80% parts and labor? What is a production cue? How many have to be made. If I make more than Viking in my basement all by hand, is it a production cue? I don't think a single cue is 100% parts and 100% labor made and assembled in the USA. All the joints, and weight bolts, and ferrule material, and leather tips?
 
How about Joss?

Hey folks:

Anyone remember JOSS?? All Joss cues are proudly make in the USA. I own (and "won" -- a great rearrangement of those three letters) a Joss model 828 in a raffle at a Turning Stone 9-ball championship last year:

I *love* this cue! So solidly made, such a resonant hit (even with the stainless steel joint -- which I'm not normally fond of because stainless steel normally blocks resonance from sounding up through the shaft into the butt).

I would easily recommend Joss to anyone looking for a great American-made master-crafted cue!

Jacoby cues are made in the US. Jacoby is also making Ray Schuler cues now as well.

Joss actually makes our cues!
 
I do not believe Predator shafts are made in the US at all anymore. Their butts used to be made by Falcon in Canada, and the shafts in Florida. Now, their entire line is made in China, as of the 314-2 and Z-2 shaft series. This is except their special cues which are made by custom guys once in a while.

I'm 95% sure of this, but not 100%

High volume production:
Viking = USA
Joss = USA
McDermott = USA
Meucci = USA
Tiger = USA
OB = USA

Mid volume Production:
Pechauer = USA
Jacoby = USA
Schon = USA
Schuler = USA

Low volume Custom production:
Most are USA based
 
Tiger Products' cues made by Jacoby

Folks:

Jacoby also makes all Tiger Products' cues as well. I own a Tiger Products' TPC-3 cue with the Tiger stacked leather wrap:

This is a really great-hitting/-feeling cue for the money! And 100% proudly made in the USA as well, by virtue of being made by Jacoby!

Yep, J.Pechauer makes some GORGEOUS cues, that's for sure! In fact, J.Pechauer is the exclusive (for the moment) U.S. cue maker for Predator's "Special Edition" cues:

http://predatorcues.com/predator_cues_special_edition.php

These are the ONLY Predator products made in the U.S. The rest of Predator's product line (the entire product line) is made in China.
