This one walked into the shop today. Havent talked to the owner yet but im going to make a move on it if i get the chance. Its rough and the script isnt readable but its cool
Anyone know what fair value would be? the Ivory ring is perfect but the points are raised up a bit.
Jacoby spec. jumper
Rauenzahn- dark rose wood and shark skin wrap
Willie Hoppe Professional #21 -Ebony
Bob Owen -Ebony
Kenny Murrell -Ebony
"The Holy Grail" by Jacoby -Ebony
1.) I wouldn't recommend Showman.....do a search.
2.) Schick - I don't think he is doing conversions anymore, just very few high end stuff (I heard, don't know for fact)
3.) Tasc - IMO, would be a good choice
I contacted a few and it looks like Tasc is the way to go. 6 month build time because its an old blank and no concern for it to twist and 2500. base price. Showman said he is at a 7 year wait!
What about James White?
Nice thread and great old cues there;every one of them! Seems Jacoby did a great job on the jumper and the ebony wrap less. We know they make great shafts. And they are friends and close to your home. Probably should let them keep doing their magic. Go with what got you there.....thanks for sharing all these!
Cue is very nice.
Gotta love that ebony.
Points that close to the joint is not my cup of tea, to each his own.
You have a beautiful collection.
Thanks for sharing all the photos.
