I don't play much anymore and when I do it's usually on this table but for many years North Hollywood Billiards (aka Tiff's) was the spot. Frank Torres was the desk man, Al Gilbert was a fixture, and most of the action was there. That room has changed hands repeatedly and I think George Aronak...

This is about as nice a setup as you can have, in my opinion. Chevillotte by Joe Richland / junksecret, on Flickr Chevillotte Corner by Joe Richland / junksecret, on Flickr Playing Cards by Joe Richland / junksecret, on Flickr

Nice Kev! While I did indeed take the pictures, I've seen the cue many times and never thought to shoot it before, so you did the most important part, asking Ernie's permission and making me grab a camera out of my trunk. While I wish I'd of had better camera gear with me and more time to use...

Billy Smith Hey Billy, Joe Richland here...haven't seen or heard from you in ages...hope all is well in your world. Call me when you're in L.A. and we'll play some. I'll send you my phone # in a PM Joe

One more bump for my friend JJ

bump for JJ

I know JJ and am familiar with this cue. It is a gambler themed cue with a heart, spade, club & diamond inlay in the butt. I haven't played with the cue but JJ is/was a top speed 1-pocket player and this was his cue for the last 25 years. I suspect if you asked Ronnie Allen, Efrin or many...

Randy...you are THE man Randy, Excellent!!!! I googled him and found the exact logo.....I super appreciate it, ain't the internet grand! Joe Edit: I found this post from 2005 about these cues: http://forums.azbilliards.com//showthread.php?t=19248 Ernie Gutierrez, who looked at the wrap...

Can anyone help me identify this logo/maker? Thanks guys, Joe

Kev, I saw the cue many times during it's construction but missed the finished product, the pictures look great, this is truly a piece of history. With that Spain forearm, it will surely be worth an even bigger fortune one day as a result of it's unique nature from one of the best cuemakers...

I won't bother with the over/under on THIS claim. Even though you did beat me with it (hill/hill, 3rd set...I hadn't slept in 3 days, I had a cold, my dog ate my homework, etc), I think when you say "lifetime" player, you are refering to the lifetime of the cue AS your player, not your...

Russ, Funny you should ask, I just had this conversation with Kevin when he told me he was putting the cue on eBay. I'll say, I wish I was a little "flusher", I'd love to own this cue myself. It's one of my absolute favorite Gina's ever, both for it's incredibly "classic" design and it's...

Wow, what a great crew! You guys are the best, thanks for all the info and insight. As for the whereabouts of the skirts...unknown. The guy wasn't in a wheelchair although someone should put him in one for "losing" the skirts (whatever that means).....:) Anyway, I've got a line on some GC4...

A friend of mine just bought a new house that came with a nice Brunswick Gold Crown table. The table has 2 issues. First, it has a ball return tray mounted but has drop pockets and second it has no skirts. My friend says the seller left the hardware to attach the returns but I haven't seen...

over/under Kev, Well since I was so accurate with Jay Helfert's crooked old butt (sorry, I just love sayin' that), I'm gonna set my personal line at $500 and take the over. I think that's more than the last one but: a. this is (might be) the last spain blank on the planet if you make a cue...

I'm liking my original line and my "over" bet. It's at $635 with an hour and a half to go...I expect it to make my "over" prediction. Joe

More than that now! Gettin' closer to MY line....it just went over a nickel ($510.00). Only 3 1/2 hours to go. Joe
