My girlfriend is in the process of working on several pool themed art pieces and for the cues in the hands of the players she wanted to use cues that people might recognize.

I came up with a list of a few cues on my own but any help here would be appreciated.

1. The omega/DPK used by Billy Incardona

2. The Szamboti "box cue" that will prout owns

3. The joss cue that shane van boening uses.

4. The Meucci rose cue - She wanted something a bit more feminine and this was the best I could come up with.

5. The searing "orange crush" cue.

Any other ideas on famous cues?
 
Efren's $15 Jessie cue ( 1 US Open and 1 World 9-ball titles on that cue ).
Johnny Archer's ivory forearmed Schon cue.
Jim Rempe's Crown Jewel Meucci
 
not sure how famous you would consider it but I have and mid 80's JOSS personally owned by Joe Balsis given to him for his induction to the BCA hall of fame
 
Here is a pic of the cue used by Minnesota Fats in the movie, "The Player".

The Joss cue stunt double (Balabushka) made famous by Tom Cruise in the Color of Money.

They didn't dare risk letting Tom Cruise handle a real Balabushka, so they took a Joss, gussied it up and called it a Balabuska.

Later, Joss came out with the N7, which copied the movie Balabushka. Adams licensed and produced an entire line of cues (with his signature), leading some owners to post here or on ebay thinking they have an original.

The computer game DOOM (predecessor to QUAKE) was named after the response from Vincent to Moselle (40 seconds into the above video).

What about Fast Eddie's cue from the Hustler? Someone correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't that a Titlist conversion? i know it is black and white but I can still see it in my mind.

Newman and Gleason both played with Rambow cues in The Hustler if memory serves me correctly.

I remember seeing Thomas Wayne's Celtic Prince in a Billiards Digest from the mid 90's. I remember it had some beautiful knotwork designs on it though. I don't have the issue any more and I can't locate any images online of it either. I wish he had a web site with a gallery of his work. He does do amazing work.
