skins said:how do you figure?? you guessed Bob Runde, which incidentally Bob wasn't even in my thoughts. looked nothing like his prong work to me at all. the only reason i didn't really "commit" to my guess was because of the bumper. that sort of splice and 3 inch sleeve could have been done by so many as well them copy the classic joint collar design from G.S and B.S. if i knew the cue didn't have an original bumper than i would have committed to G.S. without hesitation cause it's pretty common for other makers to get certain aspects of their "inspiration" close but be so far off on others. .....anyway you can have the accolades if you think you deserve them...........
skins ------------- wishes his post was one post earlier............
i didnt think it was that easy. szam was my first guess. i know gus' rings when i see em. i knew the bumper wasnt original
if you noticed i used CAPS when i wrote gus or barry
bob does alot of 8 point cues. very ealry maybe i thought there was a catch somehow
its cool you can have the "accolades" even though u were the second person to say the maker,
2nd wins usually i guess if i posted 15 mins before you instead of 11 mins i would have been able to take credit

how did you know the bumper wasn't original???....you would have had to know who made the cue for that. many makers position their bumpers far out of the cap. you obviously didn't know the cue before you posted or you wouldn't have guessed Runde so you saying you knew the bumper wasn't original is a little bold if you ask me. as for Bob's eight pointers, sure he's done allot of them, but none of his prongs look like that as well he doesn't do ring work like that. as far as knowing Gus's rings when you see them, sure the "style" of Szam rings is very popular amongst many makers over the years. now couple that to the fact that there are very few, could be as low as 3 or 4 veneered eight pointers ever seen let alone made, that to think Gus S. on this cue just from the ring work and then guess Runde would seem a little awry.
skins ------------ takes back his previous wish and knows he was "on to it" first.

correct sir. i just read your mind 11 mins proir to you posting.
but you win
notice i didnt edit my post and i guess the CAPS were done on accident
never seen a maker place a bumper out that far. including myself
as far as the rings for i was talking about the black phenolic part and the stiching you can se in that old black
2nd place is good dont be so mad

skins said:your right but imo you didn't even get that. i would give that to cueaddicts.
skins ---------- still feels he was the first to have a better feel for who made it.
didnt take credit for that but if you notice then next post after seans i said i noticed it also
do you think mika had a better "feel" when corey beat him 11-0 in the us open finals
would it matter????

Hi Barbara,
Good. Now I know what to ask for when my number comes up at the turn-of-the-century.
It was kind of unusual to see a high/low pointed Gus without a lot of inlays.
