Hi
I have inherited my Grandfathers Frank Paradise Cue(I also have his table!) My Father passed this down to me just the other day and in doing some research I came across some beautiful photos on this board. I Know my Grandfather received this cue in the 60's but do not know if he purchased of if it was a gift. Just wanted to share, it plays wonderfully.

Wow. Beautiful condition. I am guessing grampa didn't use it a lot or used it mostly at home.

It's a real survivor. Enjoy it.

Thanks for showing off! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

If he had a nice cue I'll assume he had a nice table...?
Which table did he have?

Absolutely beautiful cue and very important that it appears to be in original condition. Congratulations and enjoy.
 
Thanks for the nice comments all. I will cherish that Cue, and take very good care of it

@Rob.M The Table is from a W. Ludlow of Newark NJ
Im guessing about 1900 give or take, The cast iron chalk holders are dated 1897.


Here is a photo as it sits now in my House
That is my Father with the Frank Paradise cue. He gave me the table several years ago I didnt even know he had the Paradise Cue!, He just gave that to me last week.

THANKS FOR SHARING. I think Frank Paradise was very creative and made great playing cues. This is a fine example.
 
What a beautiful Paradise cue, congratulations. They were a bit colorful for some, but Frank took cuemaking to another level in that time period with his use of acrylics. Of famous cuemakers, I think he made fewer than most, so this one's a treasure.

All the best,
WW
