Asking price is now SOLD with USPS Priority shipping to the lower 48 (excluding CA, NJ, NY, and WA), insurance, and PayPal fees included. Sorry no trades.
Price will be dropped by $50.00 every Wednesday and Saturday until sold or until I give up and decide to keep it.
Okay a couple of things to note before I get into specs, description, and condition -
First - based on the ***STICKY? "The Final Rule" Ivory*** thread at the top of the For Sale Items section I'm sorry but this cue does contain ivory so I'm only shipping to the lower 44
(lower 48 excluding CA, NJ, NY, and WA).
Second - I bought this cue used so while I can tell you I've never used or even test hit the second shaft, never broke a rack with this cue, and never jumped a ball with this cue (I don't know how),
I can't tell you how this cue was used before I bought it. Also given I wasn't the one to have this cue made I can only tell you the specs I was told when I bought it. For example, I was told this cue
contains ivory and ivory substitutes but I'm not experienced enough to definitively tell the difference so I'm just going to list what I was told when I bought it.
Third - I can definitively tell you the tip on the spare shaft has never hit a ball. When I bought this cue it had extra hard tips and the hit was like shooting a break cue with a phenolic tip. I
immediately ship the cue to Mike Webb and had him put Moori medium tips on both shafts for me. (I believe he also cleaned the cue while he had it) I think the cue shoots great now and I'd say
the hit is just a little bit on the firm side.
Forth - In the specs below, the tip diameters and the butt and shaft weights are approximate. To measure the tip diameter I used an Empire brass pocket caliper but the graduations are only in
1 mm intervals so I did the best I could. As for the weights I borrowed my sister's food scale, it has a tare function but I don't know how precise it really is.
Okay specs, description, and condition -
Everything rolls straight together and apart.
8 points - 4 high in snakewood and 4 low in ivory substitute. The points are very sharp but are not 100% perfectly even.
Natural color veneers on each snakewood point. (maple?)
Black elephant ear wrap.
Ringwork - A location double silver rings with 8 ivory rectangles (both shafts)
_________B location double silver rings with 8 ivory rectangles
_________C location double silver rings with 8 ivory diamonds (the diamonds are not 100% perfectly identical)
_________D location double silver rings with 8 ivory diamonds (the diamonds are not 100% perfectly identical)
_________E location double silver rings with 8 ivory diamonds (the diamonds are not 100% perfectly identical)
Ebony butt sleeve and forearm.
Snakewood ring in butt sleeve just above E ringwork.
Ivory substitute joint collar.
3/8 radial titanium pin.
Overall length is 58 and 15/16" inches bumper to tip.
Butt - 29 and 9/16 long to the face of the joint.
_____Approximately 15.24 oz.
_____Near perfect condition - One hairline scratch/crack in the finish of the forearm about 3 and 1/2" long. (can't feel and barley visible)
________________________One small ding in the finish of the butt sleeve about 1 mm long. (can't feel and barley visible)
Shafts - Both are regular shafts (Not Low Deflection).
_______Both have ivory ferrules, tip pads, and Moori medium tips.
_______Both are approximately 12.5 mm in diameter at the tip.
_______Both are 29 and 5/16" long.
_______Shaft 1 - Approximately 3.39 oz.
______________Light bluing but I think it looks great given the age and the fact I've never cleaned it.
______________One small dent about 2" from the joint, approximately 1/8 - 3/16" in diameter. The wood grain makes it really hard to see but you can feel it once you find it.
______________One small ding about 5" from the joint, approximately 1/4" long. Can see and feel it.
_______Shaft 2 - Approximately 3.49 oz.
______________Looks brand new.
Please PM me if you're interested, have any questions, or want more pictures.
One last note - in the photos below I rotated the butt and shafts approximately 1/4 turn between each picture to try and give you a complete view of the cues condition.
