Sold Shelby Williams Titlist Conversion

H
Calling All Shelby Williams Fans!
Up for grabs is a true beauty from none other than Shelby Williams — the reigning American Cue Maker of the Year and, in my opinion, a future Hall of Famer.
This cue started life as an old Titlist house cue and was masterfully transformed into the player it is today. These don't come around often, and I may need my head examined for letting this one go.
Specs:
• 30" butt
• Radial pin
• Elephant ear wrap
Please note: The cue does not come with a shaft, so please don't ask.
Tapped for an extension.
Life happens, priorities shift, and this one is moving on to a new home. My loss is your gain.
If you're a Shelby collector or appreciate exceptional American cue craftsmanship, you already know what this is.
First serious buyer takes it. This one won't last long.

$1999 shipped.

Help Identifying Early Gina Que

Looking for some help identifying and valuing this Gina cue.


I’ve been trying to learn more about it and possibly sell it, but so far I’ve reached out to several people and dealers and most conversations immediately turn into “What do you want for it?” rather than helping me figure out exactly what I have.


From what I’ve gathered:


  • Gina cue
  • Stainless steel piloted joint
  • 3 shafts
  • Linen wrap
  • Four points with colored veneers
  • Appears to be an older cue

I’m hoping some of the Gina experts here can help me determine:


  • Approximate age
  • Whether it appears to be a Titlist conversion or an original Gina build
  • Any identifying characteristics I should be looking for
  • A realistic value range.

I’ve attached several photos. Any information would be greatly appreciated before I decide whether to keep it or sell it.


Thank you!

My wrong opinion.

1970-1972 Ginacue due to the block letter GINACUE of that timeline
BR Titleist - definitely not an original Ernie-built forearm
Value Range: whatever people want to spend on it.
  • $2000 minimum, I think.
  • The nostalgia is what's going to drive the price.
  • Consider that this cannot be built again by Ernie.
  • Ernie was not big on sharp point cues

Audience Sharking (Unintentional, but INSANE?)

So, somebody is watching an important match between two top players and the score is hill-hill and the player is down on a critical shot, trying to run out. That spectator is so disinterested in the shot and the match that they decide to stand up and wander around without apparent purpose.

Amazing.

Edit... Well maybe she got up to look at the score. Or the shot. Lordy. Here's some of the chat:

Fred J Velten from Marin, California?

Based on the hour or so I spent with the man over 30 years ago, I think I’d agree! I’m hoping someone here might’ve actually gotten a cue from him, too…

I've been around the Bay Area for a long time, and I don't recall hearing of Fred. You might try contacting Lee Simon, the owner of Buffalo Billiards in Petaluma. He's been in Marin/Sonoma his whole life.
