Who made this cue?

[hang-the-9]

Yup.

That's the one I think.

As for the appearance and value, that's one of the things I find amusing about these cues. Sometimes people see an antique billiard cue and immediately think $20 Chinese cue...and so you can get one for a song. Some can be worth quite a bit.

I don't think this one is worth so much...but a lot more than $20.

And that shaft...it isn't maple I think...not Ramin...what is it? Oak?
.

That is the issue with the super cheap cues having similar carvings along with multi-piece butts and weight rings. Usually I look at the shaft to see the quality of the cue, I find that is a good sign of a good cue or not.

French made cue but not a Hiolle- Hiolle did not use that rubber bumper design.

That is a great site. I wish it had more info about the cues, but the pictures are great. Thanks for sharing.
