Unmarked Sneaky Pete Identification

I'm trying to identify this unmarked sneaky pete cue with no logos.

The guy that gave it to me said its a unmarked viking that he had customized that way.

    No way to ID it IMHO.

    Certainly could be a Viking cue.

    Agreed.

    The bumper and a few other features are characteristic of Meucci's M-1 sneaky pete cue, but it's such a common design.

    Although, I think it is unlikely that Viking or Meucci would leave the end of the butt-cap unfinished like that. Might just be the photo, but it looks like plain wood around the bumper that didn't get any stain. But who knows.

    Your best bet is to go with the info given to you by the previous owner.

    It's definitely a Meucci Sneaky Pete cue (Model 9701) - redwood on maple, full splice cue.

    I have the exact one. I see this thread is from 2019, so I will post this for historical value.

    The "UNMARKED" vintage Sneaky Pete cue is the original "hustlers cue" as there are no markings to alert the victims.

    They are 33.2 mm at the end of the butt, 21 mm at the butt joint and have the unfinished end of the butt with a push in rubber bumper. They usually came with the "red dot" shaft which were marketed starting in late 1998.

    The unmarked Meucci 97-01 cue is a rare sought after cue for the aficionado's.

    I paid $900 for mine in 2024 and looked at one other that was for sale for $1100. I've seen them as low as $500.

    I attached a photo of the butt end with the push-in bumper removed as others can "ID" their Meucci Sneaky Pete cues.
