Rich Q, New York.

Some would say Abe Rich, but it isn't.

@Chopdoc, correct me if I am wrong, I think the model might be (or be similar to) the Rich Q "Imperial (four-pronged style)". See cue "G" in the catalog below:

Here is a very similar model Rich-Q pool cue that still has the decal on the forearm:

Similar to Imperial...but the Imperial in my records has that butt sleeve with no points.

Not exactly sure of the model.

The no-points version would be model "D" in that image above I believe.

Yes, but the "D" is just the picture reference I think. It isn't the model designation.

There are several fliers like this from that era. I think I have two or three. If I get a chance I'll see if I have a match to the posted cue.

I know this is an older post, but I wanted to clarify that this particular cue is actually an Abe Rich cue and not a Rich-Q by Sol Rich.

Abe did house cue conversions using yellow joint rings and brown marbelette in the 1970s and 1980s.
