Schon Sneaky pete

Hi,

I have a Schon Sneaky Pete I am getting ready to put on the board for sale. It is an older one, I have never seen another like it. It is Cocobolo not Ebony. The butt is in great shape with just one small chip in the finish right above the black buttcap.

One shaft has the old yellow micarta ferrule and the other has ivory. The shaft with the ivory ferrule is around 12.6 - 12.8 and the taper has been pulled back alittle to give it a pro taper. The Shaft with the micarta is stock and around 13mm. The cue also has a little bit thinner butt than normal. Everything rolls good.

Price is $550 for the cue and both shafts.

I can take paypal or money order.

I plan on putting the ad up tomorrow or Friday. If you would like to see pictures sooner please email me at justin@theactionreport.com.

Thanks
Justin

Here are some pictures of the cue. I am going to take some more soon. You cant see the finish blemish in these, and I want to show that when I put the ad up. Like I said it is small, maybe 1/4" in diameter. The cue is probably between 19.5 and 20 oz.

As you can tell I have neither calipers or a scale. :D

Its hard to see (and to photograph) when you lay the cue down you can see the points have been cnc'd into the handle like a Joss sneaky, you can see the V at the bottom of the point. When it is vertical it looks like one piece of wood.

The points are either dark Cocobolo or like a Macasser Ebony or something like that. I really do not know for sure. I spoke to one of the sales guys at Schon when Evan was out because of his knee or leg or something, and he told me thought it was definitley an old cue and he thought it was probably made in the period just after Runde left or during the transition.

Its an interesting cue. I have never seen another like it.
 
> These are a model SLX,and were made about a year before the Black Widow. Out of the 50 or so made,most went to Billiard Pro Shop outside Memphis. My best friend wanted one,so we went down there and consulted each other until we found the absolute nicest piece of birdseye AND the cocobolo together,and got that one. One thing that doesnt show up real well on the darker one JCIN shows here is that the seam between the bottom of the points and the cocobolo grip is covered by a fairly large ebony diamond. Maybe that one doesn't have it,but all 40 of the ones we looked at did. They are indeed thinner than the standard Schon butt too,but that I guess was to keep the weight down some,as these were not cored as far as I know,all solid. For what JCIN is asking for his in that kind of shape with a Micarta ferruled shaft to boot,you might as well be stealing it. No one that has one they like will sell it that cheap due to the rarity and unlikelihood that Evan will ever make another. They make an awesome break cue too. Tommy D.
