I'll take the #1 slot.

That is one crazy twist it took coming back off that rail :oops:

You're right, because nobody would ever bet on the Jets :giggle:

That's a more than fair price IMO. Excellent players and a very nice cue maker if you ever have questions too. They tend to be a little chunkier in the handle area, just as an FYI.

Thanks guys. Kind of what I figured on it. What puzzles me though is the guy says he got it new with that shaft, but who knows. It is super clean for an "originals." I know what you mean on the whippy shafts. I used to sell Meuccis and played many of those shafts. Quite a few pros used them in...

One more try to see if anyone knows the model?

I think I may have found the maker. I see Boetzel cues with that red bumper and carving in the handle. I knew it was at least dating back to the 60s but seems like it could be even older.

I see the Sampaio stuff is made in Portugal. He was able to look it over last night and said that name wasn't carved in it, but it did say made in West Germany. Does that still track with it being a Sampaio?

Oh interesting. I'm not familiar with them at all but I'll pass that along and have him take a look for the engraving.

A friend showed me this pic the other night. His friend has it and got it from his dad after he passed on. I can probably get more pics later if needed but this is all I have for now. Thought it looked interesting. He thought it was from the 60s.

I think I might've posted this before in another thread, but many years ago this new guy came into our room looking for a game. We ended up playing some small stakes 9 ball, and I busted him in maybe a little over an hour. He might've won 3 games tops. When he was unscrewing he said "It was...

I've enjoyed watching the advent of Ultimate Pool. Seems to be drawing crowds, attracting attention, bringing players back to the game. All good for pool!

I've looked all through the online archives and can't find this particular model that I recently picked up. Has the Meucci Originals logo but a matching black dot shaft, so I know it's not real old. Just wondering if anyone can ID.

My "mussel" memory is with a little white wine and garlic. Might have to have that on NYE.

Ha! Thought the exact thing!
