ID Pool Cue with "Handcrafted and Registered" Decal
I purchased this pool cue at an auction, I could not resist.
The cue is a hammer. The forearm and shaft are pressed with the number "372" and it has a decal with the words "Handcrafted and Registered".
Does anyone out there have an idea of the cue maker or manufacturer? I'm also interested in it's value.
Any info is greatly appreciated.

8BallNorm on 8/8/2021 6:05:29 AMRay, I apologize for the lack of appropriate terms, I was just trying to convey the feel of a 20 oz cue, that gives an "iron rod" sensation at stroke, transmitting what appears to be a negation of the physical law of mass. It feel like it gives more than it has.

Coincidentally, I have a library book at home this week entitled "The Complete Book of Billiards" by Mike Shamos.
In it, today I found that, although it doesn't have its own listing, a "hammer" is the English translation for the French word "masse" (without the accented "e").
This word was the origin of the term "Mace", which is the almost shovel-like "cue" that the first cueists used in the 1700s.

The W.F.S. brand cues were inexpensive imported cues (from Japan, I believe).
