cues you have/had in your collection

[TommyT]

THAT IS A VERY NICE COLLECTION. THE JAMES WHITE LOOKS TO BE ONE OF HIS FIRST FULLSPLICE CUES? DO YOU HAVE PICS OF THE TASCARELLA?

Yes, that's right. The James White is his first full splice cue. It really plays great. I don't have a picture of the Tascarella or my Josswest. I just got them and haven't got around to it. I'll post both.

here's my collection of helmstetter "carl conlon special" pool cues from the 80's - these were on the cover of "the american cueist" magazine before it went bust.

Damn it Larry, there you go posting pictures of those "production" cues of yours...lol. Don't you know that they are talking about "custom" cues here?

P.S. Since they're just productions, I'll give you $500 for the lot!

 

[larrynj1]

LMAO ! - here's another lowly production cue, it's an unmarked mcdermott that never actually went into production - 6 cocobolo points into b.e.maple -

sorry if i'm hogging this thread, but i got a million of them. here's a brunswick prototype made by helmstetter,who never got the contract with brunswick. he made 100 different cues, each one unique. it's a full splice butterfly with no wrap, if you look at the top pic, the turquoise points go all the way down to the end of the butt. these had a distinctive brunswick trademark, that is my secret. i've nailed two more of different styles from e-bay in the last 5 years or so.

edit - even though the file names say "cues for sale" it is not for sale. someday, just not right now.

[bruin70]

I was a cue collector before it was cool! lol I've had 14 or 15 Szamboti's (12 at one time), ,,,,,,,,,,,,!

Just more hot air!

Sherm

so should we call szamboti collectors "zambots" ,,,,and bushka lovers "bushkids" ?

b-70, i'll have to take another look. i don't recall them as micarta, and it didn't strike me when i took the pics, but they certainly are yellow like micarta.

my collection:
1977 Gus Szamboti

Anything else I have has a price...

But if my business keeps picking up, you never know.. I might just have to collect. But I will be thinking of what I sold *ouch*

that's a VERY select company of cues. most gals(i'm just stating an observation. PC aside ) don't collect cues and certainly not of quality. congrats

Some cues of our club~ Some of them are poolchady's collection.

Chady's collection~

South West cues~

 

[mjantti]

Holy $hit, R.Paul ! Wow ! I mean... seriously... wow !

You don't need so many Southwests, send a few over to me. Well, one would be enough for starters

I have previously owned a Capone cue and now I'm playing with a Scruggs. Never had money to "collect" cues, I rather play with them. But, when I grow up and have a decent salary...

 

[R.Paul]

These cues are collection of "our cue club", not mine.
I just have sereval SW cues and one Black Boar cue.

Awesome collection, I wish I had the resources to afford such beautiful art.
