I'm not too sure to be honest. But I'll tell ya this, Valley Black Cat model that is in absolute pristine condition. It looks like they never played on it. The absolute best part? I found it on FB for $350! I just happened to be the lucky one who msged the seller 1st. She told me she had over 100 people msg her after I did.

Oakland CA circa 1966 poolrooms

Yes I do. One of my first road trips to he Bay area from LA was 1967. As I recall, one side was a mexican room and the other mostly a african american room? To me it must have been one pool room at some point in the past? Then it was separated? Old timers in LA told me that during WW11 and into the early 50's Oakland was full of action located in this very room. As the action dried up in Oakland it moved to the city to the Palace and Cochrans. I believe I played The Go Away Kid in your room, Johnny something can't remember his last name. Also played him at Tree's in Fillmore. The Doggie Diner fed many a pool player back then. Yummy

The player you referred to was named Jesse if memory serves me. Never heard the last name. He came to Seattle in the early seventies.

Dynasphere cue balls.........................

S
Wow, does the USA finally have a Dynaspheres dealer? Well, maybe, given the fact they still list the Bronze sets here that are marked out of stock:

billiardsuperstore.com

Dynasphere Bronze Pool Ball Set

Dynasphere Bronze Ball Set, each ball undergoes a rigorous production and testing process that spans 23 days and includes 49 individual steps to ensure their quality.
billiardsuperstore.com billiardsuperstore.com

Plus they list the newer named cue balls (Rhodium and Paladium), but not the Vanadium ball set with the single triangle cue ball given their Bronze listing is showing not in stock.

Cue Ball for Valley Tables

They no longer list the purple logo balls on their site. Only two are the magnetic and the Tournament magnetic with the green logo. Purple's are still around for sale but A'mith hasn't listed them for some time. No clue why. I've played both and couldn't tell them apart. Purple is said to be made from Duramith resin so it might stay clean a lil longer but that's about it. Most of the places around my area with Valley's all use the green logo and it plays/rolls fine.

I have a purple logo one and it is definitely better.

What do I have here?

Confirmed by "Rich" cue expert Ron Fleming that his is for sure Abe Rich cue from late 60's to early 70's. I actually have two of these similar sticks... This one is pristine and looks to be never played with. I think it's zebra wood but I'm no expert....

What is "Braz"??? I'm not as knowledgeable as the people here. I've heard of lots of cues but never "Braz"? What does that mean? I know it's not valuable, I just love the mystery and challenge of finding more information.

The Brazilian Rosewood itself is worth more than the cue. Consider having a local builder reconstruct the wood into a beautiful cue. I have converted several of these cues to something special.
