I bought a Mcdermott cue with a wolf on it for a fair price. Is there any way to tell how old this shaft is? There is no number on the shaft any were. The wolf picture is different than any of the shafts I can find on the internet. It doesnt really matter but just want to know.

Are you sure it's a Mcdermott? I even tried looking at the timecapsule http://www.mcdermottcue.com/PAGES/Time%20Capsule/Time%20Capsule.htm and i couldn't find it. The clsoes one was the wildlife series but it looks different.

It has the little green clover with a m in the middle of it? I was told it was an Mcdermott when I bought it. It is supposed to be an old cue? Will try to get a pic of the clover tomarrow.

Checked my McDermott catalog and the cue is an E-L1 model. I believe the first year for that series was 1994 and the cue listed around $180.00 to $200.00 so retail would have been around $150.00. If you are thinking about the cue as a collectable sorry to burst your bubble but McDermott made a ton of the E series wildlife cues and the can be picked up for a song on the used market.

Wes Spenser is the artist who designed these cues. His art work can also be found on Jackson Cues but those are one of a kind, hand painted cues and the total number of cues he does for Jackson is very small.

The name on the bottom of the wolf pic is Doughtry not Spencer.
