Yup……and all of the cues would have Cortland but I couldn’t find any for my last cue made and Bob didn’t have any.
I could have waited but the ivory ban in CA was about to kick in so I was fighting the calendar deadline to receive the
cue. Jerry R. was also building me a custom cue at the very same time and he was able to find CL #9 and that was my last cue built using Cortland Linen #9 as a wrap. Both cues arrived Memorial Day weekend 2016. Five weeks later CA’s
Ivory ban took effect so it was a close call. I just didn’t have time to find some CL for the cue Bob was building for me.

BTW, I miscounted. Five of my cues use Cortland Linen and I forgot my ‘85 Runde Schon also has it too. The cue is a closet queen because I switched to ivory joints a couple of decades ago. 4 of the 6 cues in my 6x12 case use Cortland Linen. The photos of the Schon cue shows you a wrap almost 41 years old and still good as new. I played with this cue for 20 years before retiring it after I got my Scruggs cue and just kept adding more cues so my Schon remains retired.

in the past when there were not lots of tournaments and players were gamblers , there were so many very top players that never even entered one or tried to win.

most, few even knew their names because we did not have the internet.

just a couple// bernie swartz,, norm hitchcock,, joey spaeth, weldon rogers, richie ambrose ,mike euphemia, jimmy marino,
cuban joey, etc. all could beat anyone on a given day

I appreciate the 3 minute notice. lol I mentioned initially I would buy it, a message stating a price would have been kinda nice.

I heard Treadway retired and quit making cues.....I don't know if that is a fact but I was told that by a person that buys a lot of cues...

I think you have been misinformed. Josh is still working. He is now one of USA's best. He apprenticed cuemaking many moons ago under Jim Buss.

Just sold on eBay at $775, for future value reference.

I wonder how you break the balls! Interesting. With the back tier of balls gone from the rack the breaker could more easily leave a cross bank.
