Please find for sale three cues and cases from my collection. In order from left to right, the cues are Joel Hercek, Richard Black, and Richard Black. The cases are Rusty Melton, Engels, and Rusty Melton/Ron Thomas. I have never played with any of these cues or taken the cues or cases out of my temperature controlled pool room. I believe the Hercek and RB Crown have been played with before on very rare occasion but the RB Scallop is brand new and unhit.
1. Joel Hercek - I spoke with Joel about this cue and this was made for Steve Piesner. Steve was one of, if not the, largest Hercek cue collector at that time and needed a cue that wasn’t as fancy as his other ones so Joel made him this. It’s a beautiful cue, perfectly balanced like all of Joel’s cues, and all natural. One of the shafts appears to be played with on rare occasion and the other appears to be unhit. Price: SOLD
Butt length: 29-1/4”
Butt weight: 14-5/8 oz
Shaft 1 length: 29-3/16”
Shaft 1 width: 12.86 mm
Shaft 1 weight: 3-5/8 oz
Shaft 2 length: 29-1/4”
Shaft 2 width: 13.16 mm
Shaft 2 weight: 3-7/8 oz
Total weight of cue is 18.5 oz
2. Richard Black Crown - This is one of the finest examples of a crown cue that I have seen. It is an iconic design and in immaculate condition. Everything is all natural and it has an ee wrap. The wrap is so tight that I can barely find the seam. I confirmed with Richard that the custom joint protectors were not made by him but compliment the cue nicely. One of the shafts appears to be played with on rare occasion and the other appears to be unhit. Price: SOLD
Butt length: 29-1/8”
Butt weight: 15-3/8 oz
Shaft 1 length: 29-1/8”
Shaft 1 width: 13.02 mm
Shaft 1 weight: 3-3/4 oz
Shaft 2 length: 29-1/8”
Shaft 2 width: 13.06mm
Shaft 2 weight: 3-3/4 oz
Total weight of cue is 19.25 oz
3. Richard Black Scallop - I am the original owner of this cue and it is brand new and unhit. This cue is a work of art like many of Richard’s cues. The two-sectioned, scalloped design of the grip and rings give it its name. The ebony forearm provides a dark background for the brightly colored points. This is a one of a kind cue and Richard really did a great job on this. I was asked how I priced this cue and this is the price that I paid for it several years ago. Price: SOLD
Butt length: 28-13/16”
Butt weight: 14-3/4 oz
Shaft 1 length: 29”
Shaft 1 width: 12.99 mm
Shaft 1 weight: 3-3/8 oz
Shaft 2 length: 29”
Shaft 2 width: 12.96 mm
Shaft 2 weight: 3-1/8 oz
Total weight of cue is 18.25 oz
4. Rusty Melton - This is beautiful example of Rusty Melton’s expertise in his craft. I have bought and sold many fully tooled cases from the best makers and this fully tooled 2x4 case is the best I have ever seen. Rusty’s attention to detail, tooling, quality of materials, artistic ability, and durability of build is what I look for in a case and it will be hard to ever beat this one. The case also has a custom pouch and shoulder strap. Price: SOLD
5. Engels - This 1x2 elephant ear is in excellent condition. It looks brand new to me and like I said, it never left my pool room. Beautiful case and matches the wrap on the crown cue very well. Price: SOLD
6. Rusty Melton / Ron Thomas Collaboration - I called Rusty one day because I was on his waiting list and I’m not really good at waiting and asked him if he had anything lying around that he would consider selling. Rusty was a pleasure to talk to, a real gentleman, and said that he did a collaboration with Ron Thomas that he might consider selling and I jumped on the opportunity. This is brand new and one of the nicest 1x2’s that I have ever seen. Really fine detail and quite durable too. Price: SOLD
Prices above do not include shipping and insurance.
I prefer PayPal friends and family but happy to discuss other payment methods.
The pictures that I took were too large at first and I can only attach 10 so I created an iCloud link to additional pictures.
