Bill used ivory joints in a higher percentage of his cues than any other cue maker and especially on his more expensive cues, he liked to add a small tip of ivory on the end of the joint bolt, engraved with a fancy "S" for Schick. (A couple of other well-known cue makers later copied this feature, with Bill's permission.)
He loved ivory not just for aesthetic reasons - he believed the hit from an ivory joint was the best hit there was. He liked the sound, the feel, and the feedback to the player. His cues always had a crisp feel to the hit.
Bill Schick cues are hard to find these days, as most have been absorbed into private collections. This is a rare find, especially in mint condition.
