Yes but I just started playing for real 5 years ago. Not as cool as yours.
That might be some kind of record there ! Very cool.

1963, eh? You were how old? Well on your way to a misspent youth in any case. Bravo. I would expect that not many have their first cue, because for most of us the first one was junk.

Not my first but my second, a Brunswick Master Stroke. My third was a step up, a Paradise. Wish I still had that one. I also had that Brunswick case you show in your picture.
I have that same cue, wish I had the case
WOW...
"You paid too much "
Just kidding.
cue looks like still great shape
Thanks for sharing
Check your PM.
I don't have my first cue, but I do have my last one 
OK, my several last ones.

I still have my first cue, an inexpensive cue that I bought in 1963. Inexpensive, but I sure liked it. My first Willie Hoppe was purchased a year later for $12.95 (shaky memory). Then a Hiolle also in 1964.

I still have my first two cues, a one piece antique, and my first 2 piece, which is a McDermott D-2 that I bought new in Bossier City LA back in 1984. The old one piece was my cue I used at home on a table with red chalk and cloth so that’s the reason for the red tint.

My first cue, a $90 Viking, got broken by a drunk in a bar in 1979. My second one, a McDermott D-21 I believe, fell off my motorcycle when a bungee cord broke somewhere between Minneapolis and Milwaukee in 1996. I still have pretty much every other one I ever bought except a Pechauer that I recently sold.

You earned about $30-35 a week if you were working? I'm on my 3rd first cue. Bought a Rich...sold for a Doc Frye...sold for a different Doc Frye (my Ava) It's been life time keeper. Around 1968
