Meucci or not ?

An unknown possible “Meucci” piloted joint Gambler was on eBay yesterday with a Canadian seller - price was 300 Canadian plus unknown tariff add-on - I see that it either sold or was removed from sale

Maybe there's a diamond hiding amongst all that low end stuff. Might be worth keeping one eye peeled.

I have never seen one, the one posted seems to be one of the better ones.

But never stop looking, you are right, it is possible.

I picked up a vintage, MEUCCI Gambler for $140 that had no logo. I have pics somewhere. The seller was sure it was an import. I studied it. The work was so clean for its age. It had a beautiful micarta ferrule. My Spidey sense told me it was special, so I gambled for $140. A good friend of mine who collected Meucci’s saw it and was going nuts so it went to him.

Yup, that can happen.

But it will look like a Meucci.

Can't go wrong at that price. I'd take a chance as well. You might get a decent player out of it. Not all imports were junk. Some I've seen played very well. All comes down to the maple.

I'm no cue snob. I knew some great players who played with inexpensive import cues.
