Hello out there thought I would share a real nice Old Ginacue that just returned from a refinish and Authentication by Ernie. Apparently this cue is one of three of this design made around 1968 for Famous players. This cue was made for Whitey Michaels or as most players knew Him Tacoma Whitey. The cue changed hands three times since it was made and currently is very strong hands, and it will never be for sale. While the cue is pictured with one shaft, there are four original shafts for this cue, enjoy.

Here are some photo's:

Craig, if you are the owner of this cue...I cannot think of a better place for it to be! :) I think that what you are doing, overall, to preserve as much as possible Tacoma's rich pool history is a very cool thing indeed, and kudos to you sir, for doing it!

I agree wholeheartedly :)

Craig, that is an awesome cue stick and definitely one that is worth preserving, and I say hat's off to you for doing just that :)

Craig,

Do you have any photos before you had it refinished by Ernie?? We would love to see what he had to do to restore his work. Nice cue and great find by the way!!

Super looking cue. Wreaks of nostalgia. :)

As you can tell by my avatar and signature, I am a Gina nut. :)

Congrats on owning a nice piece of cue history,

Thanks very much for the kind words, however, while I wish I was the owner, I posted the photo's for a friend mine who was a good friend of Whiteys. For those who who voiced opinions about preserving the heritage of pool in Washington state and the Northwest, I can Guaranty it is here to stay and in very good hands.

Have a great day!!!
