Can't speak to the cues and materials used by Rich Cues in New York, but for Abe Rich cues made in Miami, Abe's nephew has everything that was in Abe's shop when Abe passed away. He's in Tallahassee and almost always has a cue or two listed on Ebay. Seems to be easy to work with. You can contact him from one of his listings on Ebay.

By the way, I've owned several NY Rich cues and two Abe Rich cues. They play quite nicely.

This is a photo from a match I played against Willie Mosconi in 1981 in Hilton Head S.C.., photo from the Hilton Head News. The cue I am using is a Abe Rich purchased from him. I still own it!

Great photo! Thanks for posting. I got to play Willie in 1965, but was not smart enough to get a pic taken.
