It is rumoured, that Uncle Bob build only seven Cues like this,
then he changed the Design in the forearm and all others have the
sword over the crown.
That photo of David Bowie in your pool room just lost you some serious style points . . . and if that's Neil Diamond next to it, I'll probably put you on my ignore list. :embarrassed2:
so is this one of the few that Bob had built using ivory?
I spoke with him once in Sledge at his factory about these cues...he couldnt remember how many were built - but that he stopped using ivory because the workers in the factory kept cracking it trying to inlay and turn it (heat) as they were used to using the plastic which is practically indestructable.
its and interesting story and if this is ivory a very nice collectable...
It is indeed ivory, and he made 8 of them total. the first was dropped and the butt split, so he made 7 more. Great addition to any meucci lover-s collection
