Identify an Older 4-Piece Pool Cue

I recently started playing pool again and happened to find this 4-piece pool cue at a local thrift store.

It doesn't have a maker's mark but it looks to be fairly old. I think some of the parts are bakelite, possibly.

I am respectfully requesting information on what you think I have.

Thank you,
Susie

   That's great that you're getting back into cue sports!

   As for the cue, it appears to be an inexpensive import cue. It could be from a number of distributors, but most likely, it's a Championship brand cue (imported and sold by D&R Industries, Inc. of Lincolnwood, IL).

   It's a Championship "Omega" cue model. The model number was 30-1149 A.

   It was available between ~1977 and ~1987 with various stain colors, wrap colors, etc. and was sold as a "9-piece cue" (1 shaft, 1 screw-on tip, 4 weights, and 3 butt pieces).

   It sold to dealers in minimum quantities of 12, at a price of $6.50 each. Retail price obviously varied from dealer to dealer.

   Here it is from the 1986 Championship catalog:

   Wow - thank you!

   That is more information about the cue than I ever hoped for!
