This is some of the most highly figured birdseye I have ever seen. I picked this cue up at Derby and have been too lazy to post pics. Just figured I would put it up and let everybody check it out. This is one of the old ones with the big open hole pin.

Thanks for the replies. I am a sucker for old plain SW's especially ones with wood like this. I don't see many old SW cues with the open hole pin ( I have 2 now) and I can't imagine there are very many out there. If anyone has a SW with this pin design post a pic I would like to see it. I know I have seen some over the years but they don't seem to come up very often.

Thanks,
D
 
I am not much into plain cues with no points but this cue really isnt plain, thats a gorgeous BEM.:)
 
Hey Daniel I hope you didn't pay too much for it, since it was used:)

I paid just a little more than you did.:rolleyes:

That is a great cue Jim, I'm surprised you parted with it. I didn't have any plans to unload the cue but there is someone here on the board that has really been wanting a cue like this and I let him have a shot at it. It might have a new home soon.

Thanks for posting the receipt.

Actually, I think his feet got a little chilly. I made a deal to let a poster buy the cue but if not I will be happy holding on to this beauty for a while.
 
Any clue on the age? I sold one to G. Breedlove that looked just like it back in the summer of 91 when I was in Dallas. EDIT: Just saw the reciept. Guess mine was it's twin, and he paid 9 bills. The price of poker went up for mine.

Actually that is not the receipt for this particular cue, although this cue is approximately the same age. I have another that is identical to this one except for the wood and when I say identical I mean the thickness of the rings and the pin design. Laurie told me the cue was from approx. 84-85. This could very well be the cue you are referring to.
