new ,used for storage and showing off only

the second cue is my SP10 or SP40 depending on the year
It has been used in the home room only

SOLD>>>>>>SOLD

like new

the case is $750
A Centennial case that Mike Bergman made for and gave me over 20 years ago


I have more love for this case than anything in pool I ever had

and I feel assured that you will treasure it as well

Sure it shows patina,but in classic leather goods like
the old gun cases and the very best pool cases
this increase the charm, lucky charm too

To say nothing about being with me on some mighty big wins

If I were not giving up pool,this would not be for sale

Runde Cue SOLD>>>SOLD, Owner loves it

Steve Price Case $350

LOOK AT THIS CASE!!!

Steve Price custom western flavor case with the TEXAS shape made of ARMADILLO HIDE

Steve is a rare talent but currently not making cases

This cue case is in my opinion the perfect size

Compact,fits so sweet in the hand and carries so lightly

You will bless the day you bought this case

friends and players will envy you greatly as you walk into the room

It features no mudflaps,coon tails,or pouches.In a word...CLASS


The bottom cue and case


BARRY SZAMBOTI

Barry and his sons and father are the only ones to ever work on a Szamboti

Barry Jr worked with his dad to make many of the masterpiece cues a few
years back

Barry put Barry Jr 's name on the butt plate on 2 of these

Barry Jr won a contest with them

Barry kept the one with the steel joint and I have the other one with the joint of
choice some years back

$7650 for a real Szamboti and there won't be many more.Barry is retiring soon.

The case ,that you might think is a Fellini, is a Genuine Louisiana Alligator Engles

There is no more desirable exotic skin I

This case is perfect in my eyes and looks like as good as it gets

I am well aware that Engles made many cases at least as good as Fellini
fit and finish

I am also aware he made some dogs,it would have been better had he not released those


This one is Fellini quality,and you can return it if it fails to pass your microscopic inspection
At $750 you will be getting genuine alligator,and it should last forever

Larry Vigus took the nice pictures for me

He is finishing one of his beautiful cues for me next week

Ebony and silver

I mentioned it when I put this thread up offering a special price
to the person who bought it before I could get pictures


SOLD>>>SOLD>>>SOLD

Look at the top picture below

it is one of the best looking cues you will ever see and that blue acyrlic is from George Balabushka's shop

..........

The name in the hoppe ring is Barry J. Szamboti. It was built by Barry L. Szamboti and his son, Barry J. Szamboti. It’s only one of six third generation Szamboti cues in existence. I owned it for about a year. It’s a very special Szam.

I didn’t get the specks. Dean is supposed to come through with descriptions. Cues are Bob Owen, Schon and Barry Szamboti. I am not sure on the cases, except the bottom is an Engles.

The case with the Szam should be a Fellini, at least it was when I shipped it to poolrod with the Szam.

Sweetheart on Parade is tooled on one side
an elaborate western tooling is on the other side

I love this case by Rusty,for a highly personal piece
of Billiard history that you will probably grow to love
