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.

Most of the best players I knew growing up used cheap cues, or house cues....betting big money and running out.

Muecci's were as prevalent as any other cue out there. Moreso in some places. Those early originals were a Gas to play with.
