there wee several veneered box cues

i had one with an ivory butt
from the wrap down to the rubber bumper
for years Barry told me that his father never made one, but I knew better

I finally bought it from a man in a parking lot

That started my love for box cues

I would hate to have to pick a winner between thiose 3 cues that you and Jamie have

The cue on the left is pretty fancy and is similar to the cue I had that burned up in a fire in 87'... I'm still holding out hope that Barry will get to reproducing my cue before he retires.

Barry's had a hall of fame career. "Legend" is very fitting.

The cue lost was in a car fire at that.. heartbreaking.

I have had the opportunity to speak with Barry more than once over the phone...
One time trying to order a cue-
he was very polite and returned my voice mail-same day-
Explained way too busy to take on any orders-
A couple other times regarding cue id's-
Again,
Very nice, polite-
said email him pics and he would take a look
Never forget him taking time for an unknown-
VERY CLASSY GUY :)

That last Szamboti looked like the Popa Glenn cue

Pete Glenn,father of Denny,Steve and the rest,owned a cue that looked
like this one
I always heard it was the fanciest one Gus made

I had3 of the six pointers and they were my favorites,
but I am not sure how they compare to these beauties

As for Barry making you one,it won't hurt to ask.
He is a very nice person and he appreciates it
when a person shows a little class.

I had about as little class as the next fellow and he made me a few

Yes. Those other ones I posted were from the Glenn collection.

4 Point maple maybe... But it depends on what you're criteria is really going to be. The amount of inlays? The value of an ivory joint in a similar cue vs. common inlays..

The one thing.. like Bushka before him, his fancy stuff, is standout.
