An Old NEW Ernie Martinez

This cue is old and beautiful. It' situation is very nice.
The collector has made a collection of it for more than ten years.
Today it is very hard to find a high-class Ernie Martinez.
Butt Cap:ivory
Joint:ivory
Shaft: original straight playable (new)
Awaits calmly is predestined friends the human.

if Ernie made this cue he either outright copied it, which i doubt, or had templates made by or programs lent from Leonard or Donald Bludworth to cut the pockets and inlays or it was made by Leonard or Donald and Ernie put a cap on it and put his logo there or somethin' fishy is goin' on........how do i know?....well this was a simple design i gave to Leonard back in the mid 90's. as far as i know it was not lent to Ernie. in fact i don't think Ernie would make a cue like this. where did you get the cue??? i'd suggest you talk to your collector friend and then Ernie. could be a cheap knock-off

I've never heard of Ernie doing much with floating points. It really doesn't look like his work to me either.

I had an Ernie with floating ivory points, ivory buttcap and ivory joint, laether wrap and two perfect shafts.
Wish I still had it!!! But when you'r kid needs braces.....
It was a very different design than this one however. I mention this just to say that as unusual as it is, he has done them.

It appears to be a Colorado Cue (Dan Breggin) with a Ernie Martinez butt cap....Very interesting....

This cue is offering for sale at Taiwan's yahoo auction page. Did Ernie sell any cues to Taiwan before? I was told a few dealers imported Ernie's cue to Taiwan back in 90's.
