    Cues inside cases stored horizontally, will they warp?

    Maybe. But if they do they would have if stored vertically anyway.

    History of Rich Cues

    I'll have to check, I might have that one. I know I have 4 5-N All my cues are put away again, not sure when I am getting back to cataloging and photographing them, but hopefully before end of second quarter.

    History of Rich Cues

    I found this PDF I made of a page from the old online Blue Book in 2018. I wish that site was still around.

    Orchid cue info, please

    That's the price range AFAIK. Here is one with the original 1997 receipt for a reference. Model #7 in my above post, also sold as GP-10. $250.00 That would be $511 today.

    Building a cue for prosthetic hand

    I'll suggest bedliner type tape. Several brands and types available. It could be installed just like a leather wrap I would guess. Example https://carwrapsupplier.com/products/premium-indestructible-black?srsltid=AfmBOor0ILnz56vgiO6PzsVoTFWN3y5YnYBEFANUzr5TRhD6R6ECWBAU Living with that...

    Falcon F24 (prototype?)

    I definitely dig old Falcon cues but I don't own even one yet. Just haven't found the right deal. That's a very cool cue.

    Orchid cue info, please

    I have a model 6 and a model 4. And one other that is plain. All like new or NOS. They do play well. No complaints.

    Orchid cue info, please

    Yup. All kinds of possibilities. The European and Asian cues tend to have more logos on them. I guess that's what people like in those markets? Asian market Adam cues often have all kind of crap stamped or printed on them for example. I'm tempted to say that's actually the model, without...

    Orchid cue info, please

    So, I found the closes I could, but it's not the same. The one I found was sold in the European market, but I don't have a date. The B-22. It was from the "Orchid Red Pro Series". I believe sold in Germany. The dashed rings were slightly different and the B-22 was marked on the forearm...

    No need to burden yourself. I'll take it off your hands for $65 because I'm a nice guy. $15 profit can almost get you a value meal at McDonald's. Think about it...you could eat like the President. Edit: Heading back to my office to look at catalogs. Thanks for the reminder.

    Orchid cue info, please

    Correct on the origin. @dquarasr I have 2 or 3 of these, but not this model. I put it closer to $200 in today's market based on condition and being a higher level model. There were some made for Asian markets, some for European, and some for US. Some similar overlapping, but some exclusive...

    Why There are No New Signed Szamboti Cues

    Yes, the brand was sold, as happened with numerous others. But, my point is that it was Miz originally. It wasn't "stolen". Some will put their name on anything for a buck. Gus? Sounds like pure integrity.

    Why There are No New Signed Szamboti Cues

    Gus made cues. Mizerak didn't make cues. He did create and trademark the brand. So, who did that? Miz himself. Outside the pool world, a helluva lot more people know the Mizerak name than Szamboti. 1992 catalog The original trademark mailing 1990 The trademark 1990 The SM-7 in...
