Post your Billiard Related Stuff

[Jeff]

I'm sure there are many members on here who's collecting doesn't stop at cues and cases.

How about posting pictures of the stuff you would like others to see.

I just acquired a neat original (not a reprint) of an old Camel ad from 1949 featuring Willie Hoppe and Willie Mosconi.

And I am waiting on my prize acquisition to get here. A very rare book, "Badminton Library Billiard's Edition" This book is just one in a series.

"The Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes was published by Longmans, Green, London between 1885 and 1920. The original series was made up of 28 titles, published through 1896.

Come on my Brother, out here in Washington we call those cue condums .

Because they are designed to protect your Tip!!!!!

Actually, that is a Kmart Slip on tip / ferrule combination, and these are only used on high end custom cues.

Have a great Day Partner

I remember seeing some pictures of your stuff in NPR and seeing this poster on your wall.

I sold this one and regret doing it. I got it when I was an LO in APA back in the 80's

Well, I don't know if what I just bought is worth a little or a lot.

I saw this on ebay in an out of the way place and grabbed it.

It's a print and I have been searching for about an hour and can't find either of these images anywhere.

One guy is Maurice Vignaux and the other guy is Jacob Schaefer

It has their names under the images along with "billiard tournament at chicago nov.15 1887".
