Justin, how about you look it all up for yourself.

One of the more interesting stories behind a cue. Thanks for posting. All the best, WW

I would add Bill Weenie Beanie Staton to the list as well.

I think Melamine is one of the best, if you're not looking for low mass. It can have the shade of ivory, even a grain look. Also a great hit. It's pretty hard to get the old Micarta these days, so if you're not looking for a low deflection formula, Melamine is it.

Hung, was that you playing pool in one of the sleazy bars in Tijuana, getting free chili, as long as you were drinking Tiquila?

That was almost Mike Sigel in the 2000 U.S. Open Straight Pool tournament.

It's difficult. Given the design, I think it's a garage project.

Looks like a garage project by Doug Seeth.

Anybody have an autograph of Lassiter's with the name Wimpy to compare? Some of the signatures above look like deeper engravings rather than just a written signature. Interesting cue though.

I think a case cleaner varies, depending on the casemaker. John Barton did a very good video where he used Lexol to clean and polish a case, did a very nice job. It was pretty light color. Having a Justis case, I asked him what was the best method of occasional cleaning. He said no creams...

In today's market, I don't know about $250K, but you may not be far off. Believe I see fancy Tads, some Ginas, Some Bushkas? Is the box cue the rare Schon box cue? Anyhow gorgeous collection.

I can identify with that.

I'm amazed anyone paid 40 plus grand for it. Do you know if it ended up in the Glenn collection?

I think that was one of Tad's best designs, where he had mother of pearl diamonds in the center, with diamond or other marquetry surrounding.

I'll take your word for that, as I don't remember. Are you talking about the very plain Balabushka, or the fancier Tad that Lassiter used?
