Identify Pool Cue from Mid-to-Late 1970s

I am trying to ID a pool cue from around the mid-late 1970s.

There are no identifying marks on the pool cue anywhere. I’ve had this cue for over 40 years.

Anyone know what brand it might be?

   I believe that is a Mali.

   I do not have an exact model.

   It originally would have had a "Mali River" sticker on the forearm.

   @Chopdoc - I think it was "Mill River, Massachusetts" on the sticker actually.

   Here's the decal that I think you were referring to:

   Full text is:

   Mill River, Massachusetts

   Made in the U.S.A.
   Mali
   Since 1825

   I would love to see a brochure for that era of Mali cues... or even some further examples.

   Quite right.

   Some of us have just habitually said "Mali River" stickers, or maybe just me, I don't know.

   That's why I put it in quotes.

   I actually have a couple nice examples with pristine stickers.

   Thanks for clarifying.

   Thanks.

   Where could I find a value for this Mali cue?

   There is no place to "look up" a value for such a thing.

   You can research sold listings on Ebay.

   I would guess that the cue is worth anywhere from $50 to $100.

   It looks to be in nice condition, so that helps. The missing sticker detracts from the value.

   In any case, this cue is not worth a lot as cues go.
