Hagan Cues - HC-6

Hagan 6-point Snakewood, Bird's-eye, Stag horn joint $1,900 (HC-6)

This rare Bill Hagan cue is in very nice original condition. Hagan's cues are increasingly hard to find, since he closed up his shop and moved to parts unknown ten years ago.

Bill Hagan began crafting custom billiard cues in 1987 in Gilbert, Arizona. He later moved to Miamisburg, Ohio, where this cue was made. He favored natural materials for his cues, and was particularly known for his use of stag horn or elk horn for joint collars and butt caps. Many of his cues have buckhorn ferrules.

Most known examples of Hagan cues have four points; this is a rare 6-point cue, with six slender snakewood points, set in a richly figured fancy bird's-eye maple forearm. Each point is tipped with an ebony dot. The snakewood butt sleeve features four bird's-eye short points alternating with four bird's-eye rectangles. The Hagan “HC” logo appears above the ebony butt cap. The joint is flat-faced with an Indian stag horn collar, and a brass 5/16-18 pin. The shafts also have Stag horn collars. Both the joint and shafts are further decorated with ebony and maple block ringwork set in ebony. A black rubber bumper is attached with a Phillips screw. The wrap is Hagan's standard black with white speck Irish linen.

Two original, straight shafts:

Shaft #1: 12.15mm, 4 oz., 29-1/4 inches, buckhorn ferrule and LePro tip, played, light chalk residue;

Shaft #2: 12.45mm, 4.2 oz., 29-3/8 inches; ivory ferrule (replacement for the original buckhorn, which was cracked), played but very clean.

Weight: 19.6 to 19.8 oz., depending on shaft used. The butt length is 28-1/2 inches; length is 57-3/4 to 57-7/8 inches, depending on shaft used.

The overall condition is 90%. The finish is excellent except for a small chip in the finish at the edge of the joint collar, a few tiny chips at the edge of one shaft collar, and a few scratches on the butt plate. In other words, normal wear-and-tear, based on the finish used.

The original tag, a Hagan business card with a description of the cue written on the reverse, will accompany the cue.
