Bump

FYI, I had the wrong video posted originally, but it is fixed now. Here it is again:

So the oldest cue I have seen with notched Diamonds was a Rambow from the 30's.

You had BBC custom shop cues with ivory or MOP nameplates, but nothing with a diamond, same with Pick, nameplates, but no diamonds.

Dots were popular probably because they are so easy to do. Many inlays were not very well done. I had a Balabushka with a lot of mop dots and notched diamonds. A close examination showed they were not well done.

Even early Joss cues you could see inlays poorly fitted with black tinted epoxy filling around around them. It is easy to disguise when set in Ebony. Ginacue did nice work. He made me a cue in the early '70s with MOP dots and diamonds and it was really nice, very well done. He may have raised the level of cue making.

Is that the 15 year dead horse, or only this single thread dead horse? hahahaha
