Identify an Older 4-Piece Pool Cue
I recently started playing pool again and happened to find this 4-piece pool cue at a local thrift store.
It doesn't have a maker's mark but it looks to be fairly old. I think some of the parts are bakelite, possibly.
I am respectfully requesting information on what you think I have.
Thank you,
Susie

As for the cue, it appears to be an inexpensive import cue. It could be from a number of distributors, but most likely, it's a Championship brand cue (imported and sold by D&R Industries, Inc. of Lincolnwood, IL).
It's a Championship "Omega" cue model. The model number was
30-1149 A.It was available between ~1977 and ~1987 with various stain colors, wrap colors, etc. and was sold as a "9-piece cue" (1 shaft, 1 screw-on tip, 4 weights, and 3 butt pieces).
It sold to dealers in minimum quantities of 12, at a price of $6.50 each. Retail price obviously varied from dealer to dealer.
Here it is from the 1986 Championship catalog:

I have a pool cue that is near identical to the ones above, with the sticker, which says "Gotham"
There are some minor differences, but they're very similar though.
Let me know if anyone know about my cue: Info on a "Gotham" Pool Cue
