Who makes Elite cues?

This Elite cue appears to be different than new Production Elite Cues. Is this one custom made? Sorry about pic size. It says elite instead of just E on butt.
Partner you need to take some additional photo's, or this is a wasted thread.

Dick Coombs of Lincoln, Ne made cues under that name. Dick was an ACA member and passed away away a few years after retiring in the late 90's or early 2000's IIRC. Someone else will be along shortly to give you a different answer.

I have no clue if anyone made custom cues calling them Elite but I know that a line of cues that has been around since at least the mid nineties were made in China. Elite was engraved on the butt cap in a script writing similar to Meucci's logo.

I believe that is a import production cue. From the small pic of the buttsleeve a friend has the same cue. Allen gave it to him when he was like 12 yrs old. I call it his billy club. They ran like $150 new
Can't see the picture too well, but Schon makes an Elite series.
Used to be Viking, than McDermott. I think that they have also had several others making the cues. Have not seen one in years.
That is pretty accurate. Here is another thread with an Elite cue and some stuff about the maker.

I owned one a long time ago, probably 15 years ago. When bought it used I realized it was just a renamed viking sold by a private label.
In the early 90's Viking made a line for someone that used the name Elite on them. At the same time I was having Viking make a line for me to sell out of my pool room called Sceptre. Those are not to be confused with the current California cuemaker who is now using the name Sceptre.
