Nice Conversion, Dishaw, Lambros, Buss F/S

problem is, that's not a 26.5 blank. In fact, it could be anything.

Good loking cue and all, might even bid on it if it doesn't go to high. But definitely not a Brunswick 26 1/2.
 
That will teach me to repeat what I was told by the former owner.

So we'll just call it a conversion of an old house cue that has a truely sick piece of curly purpleheart and maple with wonderful old patina coloring.:D

Please enlighten me as to how you know that it wasn't a Brunswick. That way I won't make the same mistake twice.
 
"Please enlighten me as to how you know that it wasn't a Brunswick."

Didn't say it wasn't a Bruns, just not a 26.5.

'How I know' is from a sick obsession with traditional cues, that resulted in years of involuntary research and incidental knowledge. Seriously, I need help.

'How you can know' even just at the tip of the iceberg, the 26.5 is a double-veneered cue. Yours has none.

Will still do good at auction though, I believe.
 
Thank you for the information. I have updated the listing to avoid any confusion hopefully. It really is a sweet cue especially in it's price range and it hits nicely with the Ivory 1/2 joint and Ferrul.
 
"Ivory 1/2 joint"

That's a term that has confused me since I first heard it.
I suppose, if you consider both sides of the joint, it would be an Ivory 1/2 joint. But to me, the term joint, when speaking of construciton materials, refers to the joint collar on the butt end only. In which case, it's either a solid ivory joint, or an Ivory sleeved/collared joint.

'Half joint' almost seems to cheapen or lessen what it really is, an Ivory joint. And an Ivory joint, is usually something to brag about.

Just my view, not the law.
 
I always took it to mean half the usual thickness. It is a sleeve in case anyone is curious.
 
first time I heard it, I was like "well what's the other side made of, and can you flip the cue over so I can see the other half". LOL! :)

The conversion is a Brunswick... model 20, built about 1910. The playing shaft was built with old growth maple by Paul Rubino. The break shaft was made by Ned Morris. A very solid and good hitter! Very, very light play. Mint. The buyer will be happy. Never used to break with.

Thank you Charlie for chiming in. As the cues former owner I'm sure that this is correct. I don't know where I got the 26 1/2 from. I guess I thougt all old Brunswicks were 26 1/2's :)
 
Keep those bids a comming. Lots of lookers on the Conversion. Double digit watchers on the Lambros , Dishaw and Buss. Scare them all away with your high bid now! Somebody is going to get a sweet deal on some sweet cues!
 
Still need some more bidding activity to get these where they belong.

Thank you for all the offers but you have to bid folks I won't end these early .
 
Well I blew my brains out on the first 3 lets see if at least the conversion does the money. Help!
