He would be very luck if this cue brought 500 on FLEABAY today. I agree with the posters statement. Dont beuild his hopes up for big money when he will never get it. Unless your cue has Schick.Richard Black etc on it you seem to be out of luck these days.

Meucci MO - 11
Obviously if you think that the Meucci MO-11 is just an overlay, you are truly mistaken.This cue is also truly one of the Meucci originals that will maintain it value. If you think that ths cue is only worth 400, also mistaken. This cue rarely fetches under 800.00 is just decent condition. I as a Meucci Original collector did indeed pay 1000 for the cue. and there were quite a few offer after buying it between 1200 and 2000. Cues values always lie in the value of the buyer. If you do not like the older meucci's it may not be worth much to you, but that is only your opinion.

Joel, I think you are pretty spot on with values, but the MO11 and this small Greek vase I posted the pic of have the same "overlay" imagery. When I say the same, I mean identical....same product source....zero doubt. I would hesitate to classify it as a decal, but in essence that's what it is. It certainly is not "14kt gold inlay".
Sean -
It is a very rare cue that has 14kt gold inlay and worth well over 2000...
I am convinced.
Ken
Sean,
Good comments. And a real point of interest with the picture of the vase and its implications.
By the way, if one were to look at the brochure posted earlier in this thread, what would be the thoughts on how the playing cards were placed in the buttsleeves of the MO-10 and the MO-12 shown on each side of the MO-11? By inlay or overlay?
The MO-11 is still a nice collectible, and the original poster of this thread does look to have a nice survivor. BTW, if I owned an MO-11, I would pick up a vase like yours, to add to the special interest of the cue. Embrace the concept, not shy from it, as the cue certainly is collectible.

Will, I agree....totally genius ideas back then by Bob. I would have to believe it was a similar manner with the cards. No one was thinking along those lines back then. Bob always had cutting edge ideas and the unparalled marketing, of course.
Now, if I could just find a nice cue to go with this vase.
Or if anyone with an MO-11 would like the vase, drop me a message and I will send it to you.

Meucci MO - 11
It is indeed possible that he used the design for the cue. As for being used in the process as the gamblers. It is not the same. I have taken the cue to long time cue maker and has been verified. Because of the intricate process of making the cues they were not available by the time the catalogue actually came out, actually being marked not available. Either way, My cue is Authentic as advertised and my cue is Not for Sale. I was simply posting to original poster, That I would recommend that he Keep his cue and not Sale to people making ridiculas offers of 400.00 Just another note.. Just because there is a possible identical design does not mean the the cue does not have REAL Inlays as Described. For a cue that was made over 30 years ago. and were not mass produced. I would like to see you find one and actually take the finish off to see if you are right, Until then I will stand by the expert opinions That I have recieved. Also The 14kt gold inlays are inlaid in Ivory....This is also Fact. There absolutely would be no overlays on the ivory. And way back then some Meucci did actually have ivory. I suppose the Taj Mahal cue that he made is also overlays? that sold for many times more than this one.

You're kidding right?

I don't know what expert opinion you've received but those gold ladies are an overlay......not an inlay. Before Mike Erwin passed we discussed this model in detail. All they were was a gold overlay. Mike wouldn't touch one for a refinish because those overlays aren't available. He told me he remembered Bob getting mad at him for accidentally putting those ladies on upside down once.......Mike was Bobs shop foreman for 17 years incase you needed a clue who he was. He passed almost a year ago as far as I'm concerned way to young and if anybody knew old Meucci's it was him. Did your so called experts run Bobs shop for 17 years?
I would think if anyone needed information on a Meucci, Steve Lomax would be one who could tell you about any meucci. At one time he had the biggest meucci collection out there.
Perhaps.
But I don't think that is necessary. This is a 1975 decal cue. I think the decal is actually a gold leaf.
Except for the one Joel has, which is a real inlay cue...

I really think that Bob's cue that was so clever was the Road Agent.
It isn't rare either, but it is so neat that he used the points to represent distance. The little "cars" driving up the highway....
I have probably owned over 200 Meucci cues. They are great to buy (cheap) and sell (cheap). I have bought so many for $75-$100 and sold them for $200+
Ken
I just want to take a moment to re-emphasize again that the MO-11 is a great looking, rare Meucci Originals cue, and this Original Poster has a very nice un-modified, clean original one. I also appreciate the nice even keel with which the owner has approached the forums for insight and information.

I will type nice and slow so everyone understands.
The original poster was looking for opinions and probably wanted to know what the cue was worth or what it would sell for.
I never said I was offering to give him $400. What I was trying to do is see what other people would offer like an auction to see how high the price would go. So my first bid was $400 to start an auction. Like pretend.
And the $2,000 I mentioned in post number 17, I said to put a reserve of $2,000 on it on Ebay because I highly doubt it would go that high on Ebay.
We would see what someone would be willing to pay for it though.
So what I'm saying...the cue is worth more than $400 of course but I don't think anyone would pay $2,000 on Ebay.
Hope I typed slow enough for people to read instead of just proof reading and getting the facts wrong.
