Help Identify Vintage Cue *PICS*

[Greecean]

My father pulled this out of the back of the wardrobe the other day

He bought it in ~1975 when he used to play the occasional frame with his friends.

He reckons it has been used for less than 100 frames.

It has been in its case for over 30 years.

Ok then guys, perhaps a few specific questions will help:

- Is this a maple cue?
- Is the butt Rosewood?
- Why is there no mention of the "Syco" range anywhere?

thanks

yes i think it is maple yes it is rosewood it has a maple front splice it is a machined cue - never heard of a syco range maybe a a persona mr syco major or maybe sycomore? god knows, totally new to me my friend.

Maple shaft with very possibly rosewood butt (machine spliced), with maple (possibly) front splice (hand spliced)
Syco Major - not seen this range before unless it is a custom badge

maybe a a persona mr syco major or maybe sycomore?

not seen this range before unless it is a custom badge

It is not a custom badge. He actually has two cues, one called "Syco Major" and the other "Syco Master"

This is the nicer of the two cues.

Is there anywhere where old powerglide catalogues are uploaded?

[ADR147]

not that i have seen.
