Cool cue. Worth fixing up for a Meucci fan.
From the looks of it, if it is straight and sound, it could be made to look new again. That joint collar crack is classic for Meucci cues. Looks like exposed wrap, which was an option.
I would fix the joint ring and stop there, I like original. But do as you like. :smile:
...I have to ask...what the heck is up with that bumper? LOL!
If that thing needs a pill bumper, good luck finding one. :wink:
Not everybody is concerned to have a correct bumper and some barely seem to notice...for some reason I always notice right away.
Those old Meucci cues will always have a following. They won a lot of tournaments. I thought I was a big shot with my Joss back in the day but the guy who taught be beat the daylights out of me with a Meucci.
Value? I dunno...a few hundred. Worth more than this one if fixed up I think:

And more than this one:

If I wer buying it, I wouldn't pay much.
If I fixed it up to sell I would want 400 bucks for it. Right around what a nice old Road Agent or Gambler sells for.
Incidentally, to me the attractiveness of the cue isn't that snazzy butt sleeve...it's the forearm...the points, veneers, and forearm wood...that looks real nice. The butt sleeve and rings make it look like a handsome woman with too much make-up...a hooker. But that's classic Meucci for ya. :wink:
And somebody inevitably will feel like they got their dick stepped on. :wink:
