This should be called the Incardona II, as it is the second version of this particular cue design. The original is actually an Omega cue, and was built by Mike in the late '80s. I believe Erik still has it here in Chicago. I liked this cue the moment that I saw it, and this version steps it up a knotch with silver incorporated into the ivory ring work. Simply beautiful.

Is the engraving on the ivory in color, or is it the pictures. It looks like the lines are blue and dark red.

scuze me,what is the "Incardona" connection for all who wondered but were scared to ask:D

Mike made the original cue and used it himself for many years. He named it after Billy Incardona, who was sponsored by Omega at the time. As far as I know anyway, Billy never owned the cue. It's interesting to see a third pop up, as I didn't know there were more than the two...

In November, 2008 Ed Boado came to visit in my home, and as part of the trip sold me his last 10 cues in his private collection. Ed started and owned the Omega/DPK cue company on the west side of Chicago. The company was in business from approx 1989-1996.

The cues included David Kersenbrock`s first cue ever made, also an ebony DPK box cue, both of Vivian Villareal`s Omega/DPK cues from her time of sponsorship by Omega, along with several other cues.

One cue of note was the second cue ever made by Omega. (The first cue, according to Ed was a merry widow type cue in which they were determining how they wanted to make the cues). This second cue ever made was the first of the design which came to be called the Incardona style. I still own the cue. The cue is documented by Ed Boado from his files.
