Yep, time goes fast. I believe Buck passed away earlier this year. You probably knew other area players Jim McAdam (Jimmy Mac), and Danny Green as well. They are both deceased as well. Not sure about all the others.

Yep, that one and Revolution Fairfax used to be Fast Eddie's.

Revolution Springfield.

Eat more steak!

So why did you say Rempe was the only living player?

You've apparently never heard of Bill Incardona.

Colavita, Crane, and Babe Cranfield. They had jobs. They didn't generally gamble.

For some reason I've always liked these Hueblers. Traditional. Also the brown bumpers.

Could be. Usually on a delrin buttplate, the engraving is not lost, but there could be exceptions. And at some point, the buttplate could have been replaced. Still mostly looks like an early Joss to me.

Dash ring pattern in the joint collars plus the 18 thread suggest an early Joss, but strange that there's no logo.

Correct. The times when I saw Lassiter and Taylor were twice, just straight pool. I believe 1966 or 1967, televised on ABC's Wide World of Sports, maybe U.S. Open in Las Vegas. They played straight pool. Lassiter won. Lassiter won in the high school straight pool exhibition as well. But...

Eddie always dressed like a gentleman. Of course others in that era did as well.

You're welcome. It was 1967, and Luther Lassiter and Eddie Taylor were playing an exhibition match, straight pool at Oxon Hill High School, Oxon Hill, Maryland. Lassiter totally dominated, and let Tayor to the table a couple times, but Taylor was no match for Lassiter. The match was arranged...

For the Eddie Taylor fans, this one's for you. Even though I saw Luther Lassiter destroy him in an exhibition, Eddie was something else as well.

More evaluation offered. More bunches of money, depending on the cue delivered. By the way, we work for pictures.
