1998-1998 Falcon Ontario Line OL-9 Cue ID
I believe this pool cue is from the Falcon Ontario line from 1998 or 1999. OL-9?
When I was in Vegas in 2003, a Falcon rep offered me triple what I paid for it because apparently it was a limited run cue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is another pic. I can provide close ups if needed.

billiardsforum on 12/30/2019 6:34:54 PMCool story. I have most of the older Falcon Cue catalogs but I don't have anything related to a "Falcon Toronto Series" line of cues.
I've reached out to a contact at Falcon cues to ask for additional details.
Hi Peter,
Billiards Forum here.
Would you happen to have a brochure from the Falcon Toronto series from the late 1990s? We have a member trying to identify a cue he believes is from that series, but I don’t have that particular brochure (is that even a legitimate line from Falcon cues?)
If so, photos would be great.
Here’s the cue incase that helps:

Cheers,
Billiards ForumWill let you know if I hear back from Falcon cue.

I appreciate all your help.
Something in my head is telling me the model is
0S-9? I don't know though. I’ve got so many numbers in my head.But it’s definitely either the 1998 or 1999 line because I Purchased it in January 2000.
The owner of the pool hall that I worked at contacted his Falcon rep and it took him about six months to find me this cue (which I had picked out roughly in June 1999).
Correction, if this is model OS-9 like I believe, that would make it the Falcon Ontario series and not the Falcon Toronto series.
I apologize but I do not know why I said Toronto. Hopefully someone can help me out here.

Well here's the thing, I am looking at the brochure for the Falcon Cues Ontario line, and it only goes up to OL-8.
If yours is indeed a special limited run, it may well not have been documented in any brochure (but you said you "picked it out" so perhaps you did see it in some catalog).
What did you pay at retail? That will help because I have retail price lists from all of those series from back then.
I will keep digging. If you find anything else out in the meanwhile, please let me know.
OS-9 I believe is the model number and it is the Ontario series from 98 or 99.
It was a production cue but it was only manufactured a short time due to the cost of making the cue so apparently there are not nearly as many of this exact model out there as there are the rest of the models in this line.
I have been shooting over 20 years and gone to hundreds of pool hall and still have never seen another one like it.
And I believe retail I paid about $650.
Is the brochure a dark green or almost turquoise color? Because that was the color of the brochure. This not knowing is driving me nuts, LOL.
I appreciate all the help.

I've just emailed you an image of the Falcon Ontario Line brochure.
It doesn't have a #9 at all.
If this particular brochure was made after OL-9 was discontinued, then they may have left it out. Perhaps only the earliest hard-copy brochures have it.
Hopefully Falcon gets back to me.
I could be wrong on the model number but for some reason that is stuck in my head. Let me see if I can get in touch with my buddy across the country at the poolhall to see if he can help me out but I remember the brochure was dark green, 1998 or 1999.

It's a Falcon TL-6 cue from the Falcon Toronto line.
