This is a vintage Helmstetter cue in great shape.

I am looking to find it's value or how much it is worth so that I know what it should sell for?

   I've been through some Adam and Helmstetter catalogs and brochures and can't locate it.

   I believe it is from the early 1980s, though I could be wrong on that.

   I also couldn't find anything in my notes about historical sale prices for this model, so I can't offer much in terms of value at this time.

   I did come across another very similar Helmstetter merrywidow-style cue on eBay right now and it is priced in the same range as your starting bid.

   I've had this jewel of a cue for at least 10 years. I've played with it regularly and it is one of my favorite cues. The maple wood in the forearm and butt are what I call "dense and matted" with beautiful patina. The wrap is Cortland and needs a clean up on the end. The ring-work is very stylish and eye-catching. The shaft really matches the forearm in color and is made from curly maple. Both pieces roll flat on my table, apart and together. The cue is really a good hitting and good feeling piece, everything came together right when this cue was put together.

   Cue Specs:

   • 58 inches long
   • 19.6 ounces in weight
   • 12.7mm leather tip
   • 5/16 x 18 Joint Pin

   I met Mr. Helmstetter at an exotic cue show in Vegas a few years ago.

   I have that same cue and showed him a picture of it. He said it was made in 1972.
