I have just acquired a Custom Jim Ingram Cue. Does anyone ever heard of jim ingram cues. Its traditional style, 4 point 4 veners with MOP inlays in the but. Whap price they go for?
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks
Chris
 
I had an Ingram about 6 years ago. Ivory ovals in the butt and 8 hi low ebony points in BEM with blue and black veneers. Striking cue and was one of the stiffist hitting cues I have ever owned. From what I understand, Jim has mentored most of the cuemakers in Oklahoma and surrounding states and continues to make a great cue. He is kind of unknown, but has been at it for years.
 
Jim makes a great cue and Scott is right in that he is not well known outside the midwest. I've posted it before, but here is my Ingram, which was made from a Joel Hercek blank and was originally owned by David Matlock. Very "old school" design and plays nice. This cue has a brushed lacquer finish!

Well, I finally figured out who he was and I called him. Im very glad I did. He is very nice, and was very informative as to my cue. He said my cue was made from a Szamboti blank. I was very shocked to here that. But I found out a lot about the cue. I really appreciate the AZB'ers help.
Thanks Guys.

From the intial note, it sounds like you probably picked the cue up pretty cheap. The Szamboti points will probably add $1000 plus to the value. I would strongly suggest you attempt to get a letter from Jim Ingram attesting to that. It will add provenance to the cue for the future.

Post some pics when you get a chance. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to see it.
 
Jim said that he would send me a letter yesterday. When I get home i will post some pics up for you guys to see. Right now im stuck at work. But I will get some pics up for you guys. And really, thanks again for all the help.

Is that a shorty blank or did Jim cut off the full splice and add a handle?

According to Joel, it is a shorty blank. He and Burton made those and sold them to cue makers in the early 90's, in addition to full-splice blanks they were making for themselves.
 
Ingram Cue

I grew up with Jim, and would like to buy another of his cues. will you consider a trade on the Ingram for a Joss West?
