Jay appreciates the old ones more than anyone I know. So the statement about the non window makes it even cooler. Pretty wild Bob Meucci was behind those veneers. Everyone likes to tear the Meucci name apart but he brought quite a few new things to the table during his early years. Very cool cue. Enjoy it!
Burton Spain started the vinyl veneers before Bob and before Viking. He did them for a few years, then Bob Meucci tried it for a while then gave up on it also.. Gordon Hart was the most successful in this and that is why there are many plastic veneer Viking cues. ( Making Blanks... the Recollections of Burton Spain is a must read)

I would say that is accurate.
I personally dig they vinyl veneers. It did require some work and talent to achieve.
. And I dig the look.
The last I know to work at it was Ryan...we will see if he gets it done.
.
There are 2 shafts, you can see the second in the last picture, the second shaft is unplayed and looks so brand new I questioned the originality but was told it came with the cue. Not sure about the case but I think this cue has always lived in this case, I will try to verify though.
