Post pics of your early script logo Ginacues

[cuenut]

I have heard many claims over the years that Ernie has made X number of cues with the script Ginacue logos and have probably seen pics of at least 8 different ones. I would like to put together a log of them, starting with my own two. Also in my pic is a "Domino" cue with the logo engraved on the metal ring, which I think is also pretty scarce. Anyone care to guess how many were marked like that one? Hope we see some cues come out of the closet for this one.

Thanks,
Scott

If you are referring to the change to the current logo he uses, that occurred when he came out of his 15 year retirement around 1988.

Mine has the italic block letters, not the script. The Blue Book of cues says the script was used until 1970 when Ernie went to block lettering, but this is simply not true. I am the original owner of the domino pictured below and I bought that cue from Ernie in his garage around 64-65. He has identified it as one of the first 50-100 cues he built by virtue of the stainless steel insert in the shaft. He said that he bought 100 of these and when he ran out they were no longer available so he went to brass inserts and has used them ever since. Anyway, in case you're interested here's a couple of shot of my momma Gina and her cubs:

Thanks buddy! If you search my old posts I put a bunch of photos of these in the gallery awhile back.

Thanks for posting the pics Nate and Dogs! Hope to see many more. I also have three others, but they are block engraved logo, not script. The buttsleeve design of the one in the middle of my pics and Nate's are nicknamed the "Happy Butt" design. Not sure where that came from. Anyone else ever see a cue with the logo engraved on the metal ring like my Domino? Thanks.
