1988 Murrey Professional Series Cues Brochure
This is a 4-page December 1988 Murrey Professional Series Cues ad from Billiards Digest magazine. I was almost 8 years old when this ad went live.
The cues are nothing special, but what is significant is the 4-page spread in a print publication in that era dedicated to a pool cue line. Murrey was flush with cash off sales fueled by the movie "The Color of Money".
Companies were not typically purchasing four -page full-color spreads in print magazines in the 1980s. It wasn't cheap.

Viking also made some of the Lou Butera cues and some of the Excalibur cues.
I have one one of the top Viking made Lou Butera cues but missed out on a Viking made Excalibur recently.
Some of the earlier Murrey cues from the 60's-70's were made by Valley.
Incidentally, the cue on the cover photo has vinyl veneers, and I think most of the others in that ad with veneers are vinyl as well.
