1990 Richard Black

[Benelli]

Looking for a signed and dated Black from 1990, all styles all types.

Building out a series of cues on a specific date range and this is next in the series.

So hit me up vis DM with cue pics and asking price.

Preference is for cues currently residing in the Continental US.

I’ll check the date in the am for you .. Charcoal gray merry widow with leather wrap 2 shafts … it’s the last cue on the right in last photo

Looks like the Merry Widow is a 92

Also what is the second on the left cue?

That would be a RICHARD BLACK ORIGINAL PHOENIX , HE MESSAGED ME INFO …HE MADE IT FOR A TOURNAMENT IN HOUSTON 1974-5 & A GUY LIKED IT BUT WANTED THE BUTT END DONE DIFFERENTLY , SO HE REMADE IT FOR THE GUY….I HAVE HAD IT FOR PROBABLY 6-8 years without a doubt out of 31 POOL CUES IT RATES AT THE TOP
THESE ARE JUST 15 of my 18-19;Sneaky’s there are a few that have not been refinished when pic was taken but all are done now, and some awesome builders no doubt …

Is the Phoenix signed.or dated?

In 74 he made less than 20 cues, Around 25 in 75.

I have a 76 made with Szamboti blank that was a gifted to Dorothy Wise that's the earliest RB I've personally come across yours would be the earliest I've ever encountered.

I have a copy from messenger where he told me about the cue.1975 (not 74) Made for a tourney in Houston he held & presented this version of the Original Phoenix & a man was interested in it but he didmpn’t care fir the butt end inlays saying he wanted them larger he then ran the future Phoenix cues with the enlarged butt inlays. If memory serves me he made less than 10 of this design & pattern.
