I don't think you are going to get what your looking for unless you have him build it to your specs.
Appears to me you are looking for something Very Original and Extremely rare. Your better off just have Tom make the cue the way you want it.
As far as the older being better. When you talk to Tom tell him that. Tell him you want it built the way they used to be. Give as much detail as possible. I'm sure he will have no problem doing what you want.

Fanciest Coker?
I believe I have what you want but its expensive and I'm not realy on fire to sell any of my cues. The Cokers told me a couple of years ago that this was their fanciest cue to date.
Specs:"Coker" Weight: 20.0oz. Shafts: 2-13.0mm Ivory Ferrules
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Brand New!!
20-points 10 above the wrap and 10 below the wrap. They consist of: 5-long Ivory points and 5-short ebony points with ivory-like micarta veneers into finest Gabon ebony. Inside the long ivory points are turquoise spears. the ring work is alternating sharp diamonds of turquoise and ivory.
Flat faced Ivory Joint and an Ivory butt cap together with a rock solid hit!
The above is a quote from the late John Wright. 5400.00 firm. Pm me if interested and I'll send you a phone number.

yes that is a gorgeous cue, i actually had talked to john about that cue when he had it, just couldnt fall in love with the tourquise at the time, had it been anything else i would have snatched it up!!!! i do believe it is the fanciest they have done, definately a knockout!
another cue id like to find from them was in the first blue book if i recall! with snakewood and ivory points

Coker
Great to know you're not a fan of tourquise! I was already beginning to suffer from sellers remorse. The cue is now officially off the market. Good luck with your search.

Sorry
Jim Pierce , who is a good friend of mine and Tom Coker called Tom and confirmed Ivory cue. I appoligize, but I have had many cokers and some Holly Pointed ones.

I have to say I never been to thrilled about Tourquoise either until I got my Carmeli. after seeing it matched with ivory it is magnificant. I think I still like Malachite better only because it it's used as much. But the blue with the ivory really stands out.
My Coker
In fact, the Coker is the only cue I have ever owned (out of perhaps 300 or so) that includes Turquoise. I too have never liked this material in cues, or in jewelry for that matter.
It certainly works with this cue though. It really is an exceptionally beautiful cue. When I talked to the Cokers some years ago, I believe they said it would take 7000.00 to replace it.
But now I don't have to because it will stay in the vault, YIPPEEE.
