I'VE BEEN CHASING THESE CUES FOR YEARS, AND I CAN SAY FOR SURE THAT "THE JUICE WAS WORTH THE SQUEEZE"

I'LL LET THE PICTURES DO THE TALKING.......

GOT SOME NEW INFO.....

THE COCOBOLO CUE WAS MADE FOR AND USED BY PETE TASCARELLA FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND WAS THEN ALSO USED BY PETE JR AS A PLAYING CUE FOR AWHILE...... IT WAS SOLD YEARS LATER, AND NOW HERE IT IS. IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST "FANCY" CUE THAT PETE DID.

Does your cue vault leed into Petes shop? I swear dude you got more Tascarellas than Pete does. Just kidding ya buddy. Your cues & pics are always top notch & so are you my friend. Enjoyed talking with you at the expo this year. Wait till you see the -R- with the linen wrap that Jimmy Reeves did for me. The cue looks amazing just like you said it would. Have a good day.

MARCUS ... you always find the BIG Dogs out there :thud:

Indeed some special ~ Tascarellas ~

The spacings between the points are also very different ... have you some additional backgrounds about that fact :thumbup:

Thanks for sharing the pics and also my new incoming ~ T ~

Hope all is well

Great stuff here. Those are two peas in a pod....a little old skool and a little new skool. :thumbup:
 
Two great additions to an incredible collection.
Pictures are awesome and show so much detail.
Enjoy!
 
I had the same question as Berny. The coco cue has much wider spacing between the points than any other Tascarella I've seen. Is there a story behind it?

Beautiful additions, Marcus.

THANKS JEFF, GREAT TALKING TO YOU AS WELL.

I ACTUALLY HAVE A TUNNEL TO PETES SHOP THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT... THAT'S HOW I GET A LOT OF THESE CUES. :eek:

I'M SURE JIMMY DID A GREAT JOB, HE ALWAYS DOES.

the brown cue looks like its 59", is that right?

nice poles forsure, when were they built

BOTH ARE 58"

COCOBOLO CUE IS AN EARLY ONE. EARLY TO MID 80'S, AND THAT'S WHY THE POINTS ARE THINNER/MORE SPACED OUT. I'M SURE THAT EVEN A CUEMAKER AS GOOD AS PETE HAD A LEARNING PROCESS TO GET THINGS THE WAY HE DOES THEM NOW.

THE COCO CUE WAS THE FIRST "FANCY" CUE THAT THEY DID, AND WAS SR'S PLAYING CUE FOR AWHILE, AND THEN WAS JR'S PLAYING CUE AS WELL AFTER THAT. IT'S ALSO THE CUE THAT INSOIRED THE EBONY ONE.

FROM THE STORY AS I KNOW IT........ PETE HAD BUILT THE COCOBOLO CUE FOR HIMSELF, AND STEVE MIZERAK SAW IT AND LOVED IT. STEVE AFTER BEING PERSISTANT CONVINCED PETE TO BUILD HIM ONE IN EBONY (THAT'S WHY JOE HAD TO REMIND ME THAT I WAS MIZZING ONE OF THE CUES) THE ONE I HAVE HERE IN EBONY WAS BUILT AS A COPY OF STEVE'S CUE FOR A FRIEND OF HIS.

BOTH ARE AWESOME CUES WITH GREAT STORIES. CUES IMO, DON'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS.

THE COCOBOLO CUE IS A VERY EARLY CUE. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER EARLY TASCARELLAS WITH THINNER POINTS LIKE THIS ONE, I'M GONNA GUESS IT WAS PART OF THE "LEARNING CURVE" I LOVE THE COLORS IN THAT CUE, AND I'VE ONLY SEEN A FEW COCO TASCS.
