Hello all. Here is a really nice original Balabushka from 1964 and is a 1 owner cue with a letter from the owner and an authentication letter from Pete Tascarella, as well. This cue was played for a short time then put away and it looks the part. You will rarely find a Bushka with two beautiful orig shafts that are both over 13mm but we have one here. :thumbup:

Cue is in amazingly nice shape with beautiful patina and is all set to go for your bar league 8 ball. :grin: All kidding aside, this cue plays every bit as good as it looks. The double knurled aluminum rings inside the clear acrylic window is a killer look, imo. The Titlist venners are vibrant and really pop against the perfectly clear maple front.

SPECS:

Butt Weight.........16.06 oz
Overall weight..... 20.5 oz depending on which shaft
Shaft 1................ 4+ oz @ 13.25 mm
Shaft 2................ 4+ oz @ 13.25 mm
Joint.....................5/16 14 s/s piloted
Wrap....................White with green speck genuine Cortland linen
Length..................Cue is 57 1/8" as per the Tasc letter.


Price is $SOLD obo shipped anywhere in CONUS.

NO Trade Offers Please!

I do have more pics and a copy of the owner's letter that I'm happy to send upon request.

Paypal and USPS Money Orders are both fine.

Thanks for having a look.

best,
brian kc

Amazing Bushka

Amazing piece of history. 50+ years old and still solid as a rock. I always liked the window cues, I may have Pete make me one eventually. This cue looks to be in great condition and priced fair IMHO. Outstanding. Glws sir
