Info About a Brunswick Cue
I'm just wondering if anyone has any catalogue images or any interesting info about the two Brunswick cue's I have here.
I have the original sales receipt for the white one which was sold in December of '93 which states that it's a CF 060 TG-3 model MSRP $129.95.
I'm more interested in the older one though. Also, in regard to the white one, I believe it's a fiberglass wrapped cue, was this one of the first production runs of fiberglass wrapped cue's ever made by a cue maker?? Was Brunswick the first to develop this? Both cue's are in good shape and I use the white one as my play cue, and the older one just for fun once in a while on an old '60's Brunswick Viscount 9ft table.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

One on the left is a Brunswick Sportsman cue, circa 1979.
From the 1979 Brunswick cues catalog:
The SPORTSMAN
A blend of colored styling and professional craftsmanship. The Sportsman features a South American __ hardwood butt wiht a tri-color nylon cord wrap and a pearlized plastic butt end. A Brunswick Uni-shaft, slip finish, professional taper, and pro-shaped French tip add to the Sportsman's playability,. Available in 18 to 21 oz. weights.

Any idea which maker produced the Sportsman Cue line for Brunswick?
It looks like a Schmelke joint, doesn't it?

I shoot a lot of pool. I had a discussion with somebody about pool cues and told them I had owned a white Brunswick cue. I couldn't find any info on it until I stumbled on your pictures above.
I couldn't remember the dates exactly but I knew that I had bought it new sometime between 1993-1995.
I learned to shoot pool with that cue and it was stolen from a bar. I would really love to add it back to my cue collection.
Would you consider selling that cue?

@RackAndRollBilliardHallAndMuseum - Correct. Schmelke Cue of Rice Lake, WI produced these cues for Brunswick.
