Auction cue - Keith Hanssen -Keith Kue

[Salamander]

I picked this little gem up at the Denver auction. I've collected, bought, and sold many cues and this one has got to one of the very best deals I've ever had. The cue was in virtually unplayed condition, a few minor dings probably from bumping around. It was made in 92' and is dead straight. The workmanship and "hit" are superb. I've owned one other Keith cue and regret selling it.

For those that don't know about Keith Hanssen, he was a very highly regarded cuemaker that quit making cues and has recently started again. He was one of the 12 cuemakers selected to be in the 95 Cuemaker callender. His designs are unusual and the craftsmanship is among the very best. Enjoy....

Very nice. I would have loved to attend the Denver auction. Just to see some of those cues. Do they have a drool emoticon?

You wouldn't of wanted to be there.
It was a blood-bath.

Get a bunch of pool players, cue collectors, and people looking for cigar store indians together and it's like a free-for-all.

Thanks Jeff,

Yes, if it wasn't for Ted, I'd probably have bought more. He is very intimidating when he keeps holding the bid card up. At any rate, I have more cues then sense.

Doug ...

Nice pick-up.
I was surprised to hear your thoughts on this particular cue.

It sounds like a monster, I look forward to seeing it up close.
