Hi All;
Here is a rare opportunity to acquire a very rare cue.
As many know, the Legend, Rudolph Wanderone aka Minnesota Fats, was somewhat illiterate. This in addition to his popularity with many fans asking for autographs caused him to carry an inkpad and stamper with a facsimile of his signature. This was also a big ego boost for him that he was able to show fans that his autograph was in such high demand that he would need a stamper to keep up.
There are not many Minnesota Fats signatures floating around to begin with and certainly much less so on a pool cue.
The authenticity of this is without question; I rec'd this cue as a gift from a family who was involved in setting up his appearance at this Tenn auction. I am including a couple of images to do with that event plus the link just below that will help further establish the provenance.

This is a rare chance to get a signed pool cue from the most recognized name ever in the history of billiards.
Please note that this signature was done within a year of his death and it certainly appears by how shaky the signature is that he was already in declining health.
No Trade Offers Please.
$625 shipped anywhere in conus
Paypal or Postal MO are both fine.
Thanks for having a look.
