I had a chance spend all day with a good friend of mine yesterday. We don't get to do it very often because we live 4 1/2 hrs. apart. His name is Stan Haines and he lives in a small town in northern Indiana.

We met up at Chalkies Billiards in Indy and played pool and hung out for several hours. He also asked me to bring my camera along to take pictures of his cue collection. I usually take better pics, but the lighting inside Chalkies wasn't the best.

Stan is alot like me in that he only has a few cues in his personal collection. But when he buys one, it is usually something spectacular.

The followings cues fit the bill:

Ginacue (ivory, ebony and silver version of Ernie's Rasputin: just awsome), Manzino (the pictures don't do the silver work in this cue justice), Josswest (one of Stroud's standard models. Then a lapis, birdseye, ebony, ivory and silver showpiece), Capone (this is the most fancy Capone has ever made. Wow.) and Richard Black (another masterpiece from Mr. Black)

Hey Matt,

This is one of those cues that can't be photographed to give sufficient due to the silver work. There is silver everywhere. When you spin the cue under the light it just sparkles all over.

Thanks for looking,
Jimmy
 
A very nice collection to show off.
Glad you were able to help out and most of all glad that you posted to the forum.
Awesome pieces and the Gina happens to be one of my favorite designs.

Stan has I already turned down some nice $$$$ for this cue. Don't think Stan is giving this one up any time too soon. Unless something crazy happens.

The Manzino cue is my favorite cue in that group, but they are all very nice.

There wasn't a lot of serious pool going on. It was more of a drink a couple of beers, socialializin', at least we're not at work type of day.

We had a good day. :)

So your the one who stole my capone cue. I saw that cue at DCC before it was completed and then at VF when it was done. All of those cues are sharp.........................
