OK guys I did some searching, but didn't find a thread exclusive to pics of the original master.

Would those of you who are lucky enough to have owned one of these magic wands please post some pictures so others like myself can share in your fortune, even if we envy you for it!

Thanks!
 
My friends that I got to play with once.

bushka

I will e-mail picture of my window bushka circa 66/67 to 96 supersport and if he can make az usable i will post.
Cue is all original with my name handwritten between two silver rings in window.
Purchased for $75.00. One original shaft (not straight) and one local replacement.
Spain blank.
Always for sale at $10,000.
 
I like it!!! And the Bushka is nice to. My wife just wacked me upside my
scull for starring at your avatar.
 
Very nice.

There have to be more than this out there though.

Anybody have ones they just picked up, or have never posted?
 
bushka at last

I can finally post my bushka circa 66/67. Thanks to 96 supersport.
Spain blank, window at bottom, my name handwritten between silver rings.
Wrap, finish,bottom bumper,ferril, tip One shaft. Sold other for $25.00 in 1970 (est. ) George was getting $15.00 at the time.
Original shaft not straight. Cue window is identical to the one on page 320of billiard encyclodpedia. Probably one of the few cues in the hands of the original owner.

Always for sale $10,000.

Here is the Bushka I once had. It came from Classic Cues and eventually went back there on a healthy trade but it was mine for a while. It is a titlist blank with a Tascarella refinish.

This cue hit solid. It's one of a few cues that makes me think, there is a whole lot of myth to new better adhesives and the like. Very solid player.

Bump for this thread, as there has to be some more Bushka's people are just dying to show off!

Joe, Please PM me, or post that awesome 12 Bushka shot again. I thought I had it somewhere, but I guess it got lost.

Thanks!
