I wonder if you have a Szam from back when he used some of Danny's forearms. It would be a very early Gus.
As usual, Sweet!

It almost looks new doesnt it..... This cue Gus made with WICO points (vinyl) Barry has only seen maybe 3of these and believes his father may have made only around 7 of them using these vinyl points. This one is in unbelievable original condition
Thanks very much for sharing this cue, I remember reading that Gus made a few cues in the Early 1970's using WICO points but I never thought I would see one. This cue really have one hell of Providence though, a Gus Szamboti Cue that has Points that were designed and possible even made by Bob Meucci, all I can say is WOW!!!!!!
Thanks again.

The colors on those wico points just jump right off the cue...they look great
Can't beat the old school ....... exceptional piece Steve.

Berny, I bought a bunch of them over the years from Mark Kalungian. I have had this particular Gus for about 3 years now. I have bought a couple of others from some other people too
Steve,
I thought I would put your cue and another one next to each other, hoping / guessing that you may have not seen the other one.
Briefly, what I saw is one unbelievable pair from the two great-grand masters:
I think they would look so nice next to each other
PS: I hope TommyT doesn't mind me using his pic, although I'll PM him now asking about it.

That Gus is a beauty.....I love those white rings, are they above the wrap also
Thanks Steve. I am trying to follow all these cues with Vinyl points to have a better idea in the future of who made the blanks. When Bob Meucci quit making the "Wico" blanks he gave the system to Gordon Hart. Gordon made mostly 3 point blanks and only stayed in the cue parts business a short time. That is why we see so many late 60's and early 70's cues with parts that look like Vikings. I never got the years from Gordon that he made parts, but he told me he had a whole catalog of cue parts. I would like to have one of those catalogs for my collection if you ever run up on any of them.
The other great WICO point cue I know of I used to own. It's a wedge Palmer and I believe Tate may own that cue. It is also one of the best examples of WICO points, not only in the points, but in the wedge.
Steve's Gus and that Palmer are two of the best examples currently known..
