"HARVEY MARTIN" (3 Cushion Billiard Champion) 4 Piece Ivory Handle Cue Extremely Rare
" HARVEY MARTIN CUE "
Extremely Rare Four Piece Ivory Handle Cue.
SEE PHOTO'S BELOW
Harvey Martin Inducted 2004 American Cuemaker's Association “Hall of Fame.”
Martin started making cues in the 1920’s. Like Rambow and Britner he also turned Ivory Billiard balls earlier in his career. For decades more world champions played with Rambows and Martins than any other cues.
While Rambows were ruling the east coast Harvey Martins were the favorite among the west coast players. He popularized the 3/8" wood to wood flat faced joint. Martin did not do inlay work as he felt it weakened the cue. He would watch a customer play and try to build the cue to fit the customer's style. You will often find Martin cues with several shafts.
Also Martin made eight Ivory handle cue's two of which came apart in four pieces, one for Allen Gilbert and the other for Jim Mcfarlane, these are the only two cues that are known to exist, these cue's are extremely rare and sought after by cue collectors and should be in a museum, Martin continued building cues until 1984! That is six decades of his labor of love.
Harvey Martin made this very rare cue for Champion 3 Cushion Billiard Player Jim Mcfarlane, Mr. Martin was one of Jim's biggest fans, Photo's of Mr. Mcfarlane playing with his Harvey Martin cue and some Newspaper clippings of Jim Mcfarlane's accomplishments as a 3 Cushion Billiard Champion.
Thank you all for taking the time to browse through my pictures and documents.
