How to Identify an Old Pool Cue?
Is anyone able to give me some kind of identification on this old pool cue?
It belonged to a family member and was passed down.
Thanks in advance!

Type79 on 10/18/2019 7:49:55 AMSome will jump to the conclusion it was made by Abe Rich but in my opinion, it is more likely a product of Sol Rich and the RICH-Q line made in Long Island, NY.
In nice condition, the cue may carry a value of $150 to someone interested in Rich cues.
TodyWayne on 4/20/2024 8:42:02 AMThis cue is a cheaper import cue.
It is neither a Rich-Q by Sol Rich nor an Abe Rich cue.

This cue is in the Rich-Q catalog. I believe it is the Rich-Q "Cobra" model.
billiardsforum on 6/25/2024 9:24:11 AMThe Rich-Q Cobra models don't match the butt sleeve design on the cue pictured above.
It is close to a model E from that same catalog, but substantially different enough to rule out those few models, at least.

@billiardsforum, you are 100% correct.
The cue pictured above is a cheap import production cue. In fact, pictures of the identical style cue has been going around various billiard forums posts for years.
KCCC on 6/25/2024 10:09:53 AMThis is 100% an import cue. The forearm gives it away. The veneers and points scream it out loud.
Good points. I may of jumped in too soon and also may need glasses.

I have this exact pool cue.
It's a hustler cue from the 1980s.
