Here is picture of the middle of my Masters chalk turning hard with a dark shiny area in middle. Hardly sticks to break cue at this point

Where did you buy it? There's counterfeit chalk all over Amazon.

I remember back in the days of Corner Pocket's of America and they all had the lite brown Masters chalk I'd run into a cube of it that was initially harder than normal and drilling the top of it litely would normally do the trick .

Yes this was long before the American flag was placed on the chalk .

For the sharp-eyed, is Jim Rempe holding his famous jewel-inlaid Meucci Crown cue? My impression was that it was built sometime in the 80s, could have been that early.

Chrome triangle rack, or chrome rack holder?

What a photo, Jim was rocking a Meucci so far back in 1983!!! At that time, I was just a little over 3 years old, and the moment I held a Meucci myself much muuuuuuch later in 2002 or something, it felt like a special thing. I wonder how he felt holding it in 1983.

Meucci was a thing, just like owning a Mercedes or something, or at least that's how it felt to me.

That model was a great one and seemed as expensive as a Mercedes when I started playing a few years after that picture was taken. I bought a plainer Meucci in ‘87 or ‘88 and had to sell it. The room where I played generally didn’t like or respect Meuccis. It’s plastic. It hits like a rubber mallet etc…. Other places people loved them. Wish I still had it even though it wasn’t that fancy.

In the last couple years a guy I know picked up a beautiful example of that Rempe cue. Refinished and looked great. And still a bunch of money.
