      Shows you how much out of touch I am. I didn't even know they had closed or got taken over or whatever. I have only ever tried out a H&O cue but never owned one. They were highly regarded cue makers

        That is very nice--a piece of history, thank you brother 4.

        Terry, dont worry. You can learn a lot about cues on this forum. I know I have. Will Hunt is still making cues.

                Is there a date anywhere on the brochure?

                  i'm going to have a guess and say between 1990 to 1993.

                          Did you try to confirm this by perhaps emailing Will Hunt or Robert Osbourn?

                          By the way, I am so surprised to see so many different joints being offered in his early days.

                            Don't disturb them,WH & RO is very busy to finish their order.
                            One of my customer want to order a Black Plate,then Robert tell him,he will recevice new order 6month later.So he need to wait 6+4 month.

                              Brother 4,
                              Obviously you have sold, and owned more Will Hunt than I have ever seen in my life judging from all the pictures you showed us before.
                              I am just wondering why you said the older ones are better? Wouldn't Will Hunt have more knowledge and experience along with access to better technology now than before, which should allow him to build better cues?
                              Thank you.
