We need to see more of the cue than this.

However, based on what I can see, it might be an A.E. Schmidt Harold Worst pool cue. They were in the 1963 A.E. Schmidt catalog:

Here's another example:

It is a cue from that catalog. The decal flaked off, they frequently did.

The handle color identifies the weight by the way.

They are not particularly valuable. Maybe $60 to $100 depending on condition and who wants it.

Looks like someone tried to clean it, which can devalue it in some people's eyes.

I have one with 1 original pool shaft, 1 original snooker shaft, and 100% intact decal, with the original case.

I would value mine at $125-$150.

Do you know who made these for A.E. Schmidt?

I thought I remember hearing/reading a while back that they may have been outsourced by A.E. Schmidt, but couldn't find any reference to it when I went looking today.

I don't remember, I did hear something at some point, but I don't remember what.

No reason they couldn't make then in house though. They did make cues.
