Historic Cues. Do you have any?

I believe the old three veneer holds a spot on this thread. Beautiful cue, it features the exact same splice angle as the 4 veneer cue i posted previously.

I hope we can include Larry Lisciotti's Balabushka (1986-1991) that he bought from the widow of his friend Earl Silverman.
It was purchased recently from the Tascarella family.

I don't think I posted this here before.

I will add a cue made by HARRY SIMS, USBA NATIONAL CHAMPION

Yes, I chalked and played it, of course.

Legend says Harry ran 11 racks of 9-ball before he became a
serious 3-Cushion player and quit the game of pool, earning 2 National Championships and
1 2nd place as well as earning the title of Grand Master. He said he switched from pool to 3-Cushion because there was no
more challenge left for him in pool.

Sadly, we lost him in 2006. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/sad-news-harry-sims-3-cushion-champ.46931/

I had the privilege of speaking to someone that knew him closely.

I think I did post somewhere in the forums about this cue. But now it's here, resized, uploaded to AZB, and it will not be lost.

I am so glad to see the additions to this thread.

I will embellish my post about my Harry Sims made cue with this interview I found.

 
This is a nice TAD that had a professional tournament career spanning 5 decades. Calvin is still Fargo 790 last I checked. I am the caretaker of this rare model that Hawaiian Brian also owned.
