Dick Romaine

[Hit Man]

A friend of mine wanted me to post some pictures of his cue. He had it made 20 some years ago by a fella named Dick Romaine out here on Long Island. The cue was signed in the forearm, but has worn off over the years. Gee I hope I'm spelling his name right. Anyway, he's tried to find out more about this guy, but Romaine seems to have disappeared. According to him, there were only about a dozen ever cues made by this guy and they all handle and feel like an old bushka, and built like a tank. His work seemed really promising.

Any info on Romaine would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

It's not Terry Romine ? Terry was one of the founders of Schon cues along with Bob Runde. I have no idea if he was from Long Island or a native from Wisconsin.

The name sounds familiar, I wanna say Selden, Side pockets, but i'm not sure, I use to live in Woodmere and use to play all over the Island around then. I'll ask a friend of mine and I'll pm you if I get any info. WOW, a blast from the past.
