I have a $4,000 budget and I am looking for classic custom cues from HOF cue makers: Joss West, Tad, Scruggs, Ginacue, etc, also interested in any well made unknown cues. Show me whatcha got.

Gus I had to put it up for sale on ebay (which sucks because this is the only cue I never wanted to lose). You should be able to see all the clean up pics there and it shouldn't be too hard to find. Thanks, Ryan

Gus Thanks, as you can see, this is an old thread, I bumped it for a guy looking to buy it so he could see some pics. Thanks, I actually did what you suggested a few years ago, sent it to Barry, had him clean it up and put together an LOA. Thanks, Ryan

No, I had had no idea. What do you think? I bumped it because someone on AZ was thinking of buying it and he he needed the some quick pictures. Thanks for stating the obvious though.

Gus Here you go T

Hi, Over the years I have purchased or downloaded old brochures from custom cue makers and production cues from the 60's, 70's and 80's. I'll post as many as I can, I also have Schon's first catalog and a Barry Szamboti catalog in envelopes which I'll try to find and take pics of. Ryan

Cue Bob Weir was the first thought in my mind when I saw that cue. Ryan

Hey how you been Chopdoc, long time no talk. How's everything going? Ryan

I picked this one up a while ago in the Bay Area. I'm usually pretty good at identifying any unmarked vintage cue but this one has me baffled. If I had to guess I would say it's an old Tex Zimmerman, any ideas? Ryan

Gus I just went back through my email exchanges and would like to apologize. The Gus I was offered is not the cue you have for sale. It is very similar as far as what an incredible cue maker Gus was except it has Ivory spears on the points and Ivory diamonds and dots on the butt sleeve. My...

Gus What Will P. said was spot on. You offered me this very cue back in August for $12k and I passed, not because it isn't an incredible Gus Szamboti, it is. It is an absolutely beautiful and rare example of Gus's work. I passed because the prices in the high dollar collectible cue market have...

My guess is $500-$700 maybe $600-800 for just a regular shaft with plain collar, much more if ringwork. It's been a while since i've seen any, so I could be too high but that's my best guess. I would love to see a picture. Ryan

I've been under the weather with the flu but if I'm able I may bring this Bushka and my Gus piloted ivory jointed, original leather wrapped Szamboti to the DCC. Ryan

Thanks bud. Have a great New Years. Actually Happy New Years to everyone that posted on this threa. Ryan

Hi guys, Thanks for all the kind words. Happy Holidays to you all. Ryan

This may not be the fanciest Balabushka but it is extremely rare for several reasons. First off it is a very early George with his original nylon wrap (extremely rare) feel free to look at all 3 Blue books and you will see how rare nylon wraps were for Balabuska. Secondly is that it has white...
