Got into a conversation with a fellow pool cue collector about style and signature designs.

Who made this design popular? The notched diamond!
everybody years ago use those they were common inlay that could just be purchased from instrument manufacturers banjos guitars and so on. Nothing really special about them.


If I remember right Balabushka made accordions and concertina's Which use a lot of mother of pearl inlay so he probably adapted it to his cues.

Anyone with intel on this vintage V. Loria & Sons 9-foot table?

Loria was on Central avenue in Yonkers- my home town! I believe that they moved up to Yonkers from NYC in the early 1960s. Table is most likely 1920s/30s and I am just not sure if they manufactured their own tables in NY way back then or rebranded Brunswick's or some other NY area table manufacturer. By the time they got to Yonkers, I believe that all of their tables for sale in that showroom were rebranded models and also other manufacturer represented brands such as Brunswick.
Looks like a rebadged BBC table to me, but the inlays on the legs may have been done by Loria
