I am so glad to see the additions to this thread.
I will embellish my post about my Harry Sims made cue with this interview I found.

This is a nice TAD that had a professional tournament career spanning 5 decades. Calvin is still Fargo 790 last I checked. I am the caretaker of this rare model that Hawaiian Brian also owned.

I wonder if Brian was using this cue the time he spanked me
lolI took my Szamboti to Ernie to have one of the ferrules replaced with ivory.
Shortly after I left the cue Fish and Game raided his shop for bidding and abetting smuggling ivory.
Ernie was charged with aiding and abetting because he sold cues with ivory to an Asian buyer who was charged with smuggling ivory when he tried to take the cues to Asia.
My cue was taken in the raid and marked as evidence, please see the first two pictures.
Ernie contacted me and I am sure others whose cues were taken and said we should contact Fish and Game to have our cues returned.
Please see the last picture that shows the ferrules, I do not know what the material is but it is not ivory.
I decided not to replace the ferrules because I wanted to keep it in the same condition as it was when it was taken.
I had it listed on eBay for 20k because I didn't care if I sold it.
The cue is now listed on AZB for $15,000.
I also just listed my ebony and ivory Ginacue on AZB.

I really enjoy seeing these cues and the styles they are built with. I would love to get a closer look at them and how they were constructed.
Nice addition to this thread. Very nice Doc Frye cues are not many. Yours is nice.
Thanks. I love that cue. The sentimental value is priceless. The room I played at was a nice part of my life's experiences. Doc would come into the room (sometimes with Miz)... he was a real fine down to earth person. Everyone was ordering his cues. He would invite the buyers to his house to see the various stages. He enjoyed playing 1ball in the corner (not one pocket). He was champion skeet shooter... His shotgun stocks were absolutely beautiful. My Doc is more than a cue. It's part of my history.
