Sampaio Cue

Solartje said:
the custom Sampaio

The Sampaio is an absolutely rarity. Sampaio was a Portuguese cuemaker that also built custom billiard tables. His cues play absolutely great and finding a Sampaio in great condition is very, very rare. I was born in Lisbon, Portugal and I can vouch for any Sampaio cue. It will blow your mind away. I wish I had the cash but I have to hold off my expenses since I got laid off and I am still haven't found a job yet.
Also the clocks remind me when I use to get out of school and go play billiards. That was the only way to measure your table time. Awesome find.
 
thanks for the nice reply.

The sampaio is amazing. Even if i'm selling it for less then the 8pt hiolle who i just more sought after then the sampaio as it has been documented more, the sampaio beats the hiolle anytime in beauty. The butterfly, veneers and points and georgous and bright, the handtooled butt, everything about is so nice.

Trust me, it hurts having to sell them.

(living in belgium, but being 50% portugees, this cue means alot to me)

i will consider any offer. I just can't do trades, as i can't pay the honeymoon with cues :D
 
bump for these european collectibles .

If you are interested, feel free to pm me any offer. I can take something off of the prices for azb.
 
I have an offer for the hiolles and the sampaio, and i'm tempted to close the deal. If by tonight nobody has made a better offer, they will be sold.

Last chance for these top european antique cues.
 
Alle cue's and 1 clock are sold. Payment pending.

I still have one clock left till this weekend. 325$
If not sold by saterday, ill put it up for sale on ebay at starting price of 325$ and you still have a chance there, but i expect it to sell for 350-400$

Thanks for the offers.
 
last chance for the last taxi clock available.

325$ USD. Offer stands till this weekend. Then they will be gone on ebay.
