Don't get all pissy there Ned, you're the one that came with 'Stupid Post of the Year' material. Should have seen the replies comin', its a tough room as Rodney Dangerfield used to say.

Yeah, I wasn't aware that some members here are also members of the special olympics...

Great thread, Doc. These are very historic, old-school cues.

Well, I have one in ebony.

The National HC-140 is identical to the Gandy HC-140.

Can't tell them apart as far as I know.

But the ebony one I have is the only one I have ever seen. And I have some good documentation and provenance for it.


And did you see the post of the HC-140 I just got? Scroll past my pictured of the packaging. You will love it. LOL!

I don’t think any pool player on the planet knew about the pivot point, except maybe 10 guys, until the YouTube era of pool. It’s a non factor.

Those are actually very nice looking cues. I never knew about Gandy cues. Only know about the Big G and the Sport King.

Thanks.

I think they are underappreciated.

I am trying to complete the catalog collection, they reproduce the catalog pictures like Chris Tate did with Palmer.

I also have some excellent Palmer examples, but I am pursuing the National/Gandy catalogs. Palmer has been done.

Right now I am just using some of the pics I have. I need to get good pics of all of them. I have pictures of all of them but a lot of them are pretty crappy.

i go for usps. strictly because they are all federal employees and have a job they do not want to lose. and few would ever steal a package and risk it.

however the time you receive the package can be much longer than you thought. but more likely than the others to not be destroyed.

and no way im taking pay pal. but would use it to buy.

Holy crap.

I think we have cue royalty in the house.

Welcome to the forum.

just plug away selling what you want. dont represent something as anything you are not sure of. just say this cue for sale.
then its up to the buyer to decide if he is willing to take a risk.

That's really best.

Cues listed as "unknown" or "unbranded" get attention.

Guessing wrong looks bad, some will immediately shy away thinking the sale might be a scam.

It’s rare but I doubt that it’s a collectible.
Don’t get your hopes high, especially in its current condition.
