Meucci Collectors

My first customized cue was a Meucci. I sold it during a moment of hate for the game. I've regretted that move for years.

I don't own this one. It is just here for repairs. Seems to have been the victim of a bad refinish job. I've never seen one like it before.

i believe the model number was 97-19.. that and the Ol-3 and the Probillards tour cue (the blue one) were my favorite muecci's.. that 3d model is awesome.. it was one of the last meucci's made with real ebony instead of that black plastic crap... and it was neat how its inlays in the joint.. i had one for a short time and it plays awesome.. a few years ago they were going for a premuim price because they were hard to find..

favorite Meucci

So over the years, which Meucci is the most collectible or is it just a matter of taste? Is there a specific series that was more popular than others? I am restoring an Original MO-10 and was just curious.

Well I don't know if its the rarest but its the only Meucci I want.....a 97-30.

I have only ever seen one and its possible only one was made. I have an old catalogue with this cue in it but I am told on good authority it never went into production.

Anyway, any help in finding one will be rewarded.

I've always wanted a SE-X. A friend of mine has one and I chuckle every time I see the butt plate.

Hi Si,

Is this the one you saw? Shouldn't be too tough to find patty71070... Buying it from her might be a whole different deal! Good luck!

How the hell did I miss this??????? I can't see any pictures but it must be the same cue. Steve, thanks for the heads up dude. I will try my best and post the results.

PS: Steve, if I get it, I will send you something billiard related as a thank you.

I'll guess that the elephant cue that Bob made for Rempe might be the most expensive. I guess that relates to collectible. I think it was called The Taj Mahal.

I'm sure somewhere on the net, but I can't find any. The cue had for each of the points ivory elephants, lined up vertically (axially) holding each others tail in a line. IIRC, the elephants got smaller on the way up the cue to mimic a point. I can't remember if they were scrimshawed or inlaid.

Fred <~~~ wonders if the elephants popped

There is a color pic of it in the Billiard Encyclopedia. The original Meucci Crown Jewels must be another contender. That went for big bux also.
 
Hi Si,

It's a shame the pictures were already gone on the 97-30. If memory serves me right, it looked just like the original brochure picture (that already said it was "discontinued"). Seller even had pictures of the Prototype verbage it had on it... Wish I'd known you were looking! At the time, I just thought somebody was awfully damned proud of a Meucci :D ! Good luck in your quest, Si!

Best regards,

Steve
