Jacoby for sale
jacobywhole.jpg



Hello, I am new to the AZ forum even though I have been reading the classifieds for over a month. It sounds like everyone knows everyone else on the forum, very cool. Anyway, here is what I have for starters. This is a Jacoby custom cue I purchased a little over a year ago at Billiards N' Bagels in Gresham, Oregon. If anyone is ever in the Portland, Oregon area they really need to check out Jim Oswald's shop. I only used it a hand full of times because I was to paranoid to use a new cue. I didn't want it to get screwed up. So it is in as new condition. This is one of the nicest hitting cues I have come across, which I would attribute to the ivory joint, ebony nose and stiff shaft.

Limited to six total cues custom ordered by Jim.

Flat faced ivory joint, ebony nose and handle with five rather large ivory inlays( only on one side of the cue, which is meant to make it easier to shoot from the same side of the cue for consistency).

1902 $2 1/2 gold coin inlaid in the butt, 5/16 14 pin with a flush pilot in the shaft.

18.8 ounces.

13mm tip with a 10" taper. I don't recall the weight of the shaft, but it is a very hearty shaft. Not whippy at all.

The handle is thinner, not much but noticeable. Great for those of us with hands on the slightly smaller side.

Any other questions about the cue please feel free to ask.

$800 shipped OBO, appraised at $1500. I paid $1200 last year. Have appraisal paperwork which will be sent with cue. Also cue will be sent with a basic 1X1 case.
 
Trades

Looking for 4 or 6 pointer, phenolic joint, heavy shaft(4 oz), 13mm shaft(s). Maybe a nice Coker or simple Bender or Ned Morris. Something along those lines. Any offers on any type of cue are greatly welcomed and appreciated.
 
Am i asking too much? No one is responding. Do people not like the cue? I know Jacoby's are not demanding a great deal of attention in the market place. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. I also have two other cues for sale. Nothing special and neither are pristine but used and show it. One is a plain jane BEM Viking that I bought in new 1994 and the other is a plain jane Cocobola Shannon cue from 03 that I bought a few months ago on a whim. Two shafts, slightly thinner, 12.75 on the jump/break shaft and 12.5 on a 29.5" shaft. Both are great playing cues, just nothing special.
 
Still interested in the trade. Let me know if you'd like pics. of the cues.
If you do...I'll try to get them to you tomorrow sometime.
Peace,
Jeff
 
Also really looking for a cousins cue. Anyone have one available for trade?
 
it looks as though no one is interesed in the cue. is this just not a good time in Jacoby's career to sell a wonderfull hitting and unique cue?
 
that is a nice looking cue, I love Jacoby cues. I have three already, including a ten point one of a kind. Wish I could afford it right now, sorry.
 
I think Jacoby cues are great playing cues and have great workmanship. However, they are production cues, and they offer a catalog of cues. The problem is that there are just too many of them around to demand a real high value. Their annual production is too high to make them sought after and collectible. This has nothing to do with quality. I personally think that they are an exceptional cue, and a great deal. Like I said, I own a very nice one of a kind, and just the fact that Jacoby makes production cues brings the value of my cue down. It doesn't bother me too much because I love it and it serves me just fine.
 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A bump for a most unusual David Jacoby cue. Lotta ivory an a lottta cue for the money.
