Was wondering if people know whatever happened to the
Cues of past pro's and what kind of cues they played with ?
I'm sure some must have been sold at auction
Like Mosconi's.
In my area... Boston Shorty had a nice looking older Viking cue
That he used quite a bit.

In the book hustler days they mention Luther Lasseter having a lucky silver dollar built into his cue. I'm sure he had several cues over the years, but it would be nice to know more about that cue.

You can see the coin in the buttplate of Lassiter's cue. Not sure what it was made of.

All the best,

A cue that I would love to see up close or at least pictures was the cue used by Johnny Cash in the made for TV movie from 1980, The Baron and the Kid. When Cash passed away, Sotheby's did an online auction of his estate. He had two cues, one was a plain Adams cue, the other was the one made for the movie I believe it was a Mcdermott. I bid on the cue but it went sky high. The Adams went for around 1400 and the movie cue sold for close to 6000.
