FCI treated me great. They installed it, too.

In our old-after-school, teenage, ring games, taking a carom at a money ball was de rigueur -- more often, "rolling" sure beat running out at our skill level. (Had a carom table been available, it would have provided our logical progression.) It was several years before I learned 9 Ball could...

Janes response was not certain. In fact, he apologized for the indecisiveness of his answer: "Sorry for the indecisiveness in my answers but I'm not sure about this cue. It tells me that it was a custom sold at a show, this leads me to think that there was only ONE made." Janes did give me...

Excuse me. I did not realize I was causing such a problem. Next time I'll try AI.

I keep hoping. Like my Pa told me as a teenager heading for a dance -- "BB, if you never ask, you will never dance." Plus, new people join AZ every day. The real answer to why I continue my inquiries is the same reason that I bought the cue: I had never seen a cue with a butt designed or...

Does anyone have any Joss catalogs/flyers/photos of its offerings at the 2005 Valley Forge Super Expo? I am particularly interested in Joss's "custom" cues offered by it at this sale or shortly thereafter. Further, did Joss ordinarily construct "custom" cues "on spec" or were they all...

No one should be surprised by AZers helping out by sharing their expertise. My experience is that someone is always willing to help. Before I was even a member, Scott, who posted here as "runscott", took incredible time and energy to educate me specifically about WH Pros and Brunswick cues in...

beautiful. simply beautiful. no "ifs", "ands", or "buts" about it.

Pictures, please!

Case sold -- Buy It Now

When I bought my case, along with a WHPro, I made no inquiries. I had no idea of what I was buying or that a provenance might later prove useful or desirable. I would bet a lot of money that the decedent was the original purchaser and used the case and cue very little, but I can base my...

I am always curious as to how certain items end up in the hands of certain sellers. Here, the seller is an eBay regular who is presently listing 54 other items for sale, none of which bear any relationship whatsoever to billiards. I am unable conjure any explanation beyond garden variety...

I should have been clearer. The instant black case has more ornate/detailed -- "fancier" -- leather tooling than the other brown, tooled cases I have seen. (The leather work on my brown case pales in comparison.) Before this one I have only seen the "fancy" leather tooling on black cases --...

I've seen black ones -- classic "Hustler" Case/Leather work/brass plate -- but never a brown one.
