I don't think I ever saw an ivory cue ball, except for the larger ones used in Billiards. I do know that Ernie was always in the market for these balls and I sold him a couple a long, long time ago.
" Tracy Joe Salazar told me-
He remembered Ernie Tad and Harvey Martin in the same cue shop very early on"
This is a cool old cue
You couldn’t be more right
Restoring this cue makes is a old “new” cue. Absolute mistake.
It’s about as old as Gina cue gets.
Nice pole congrats

I know exactly when the Milne cue was made! I ordered it from Ernie in 1966. I owned Mothers
Family Billiards in Sherman Oaks,Ca and ordered the cue for a friend /customer Darryl Milne. In those years Ernies shop was a couple of blocks from the pool room. That was the start of a 50Plus year relationship with Ernie that has continued to this day. In fact I worked with Ernie for short period and was lucky to learn many things about making pool cues. He was a great teacher!! I use that knowledge today making pool cues for select friends AND CUSTOMER. Great fun and very rewarding experience. Shoot Pool Not People !! was our slogan and still is.

barrymore...Not doubting you sir, but Ernie himself, after checking out the cue, said it was one of the first 10 cues he ever made, and was made in '63, rather than '66. Why do you suppose that is?

He also said he can't remember what he ate for breakfast that day....I just hope to
remember what I did 60+ years ago, or 57, or even 5...After so many cues, I am sure
they run together, Barrymore has the year he bought a pool hall, and knows the person
on the cue...Not saying neither is wrong, they are both probably right...The 60's.
it's prob worth double that now. :grin:
I will pass on the info you provided in your earlier posts to Ernie.
thx,
