So I picked this cue up the other day in a pawn shop and from a previous story I read I knew its at least fairly rare. Its called The Olympian and is one of the "towers collection". I am curious of everybodies thoughts on this cue and maybe some more information about it and if someone gives me a reasonable offer I must might sell it. I looked it up in the blue book so I have a base price but I know thats not the price I will get. About the cue, its straight as an arrow, not a single ding or scratch on it, it has the original shaft also straight and it has an old ferrule on it i cant remember what its made out of but i think it starts with an M and its not cheap plastic or ivory( i dont think), all of the white inlays are all ivory and the black is all ebony wood. So here are some pics of the cue and any and all comments or purchase offers are welcome but dont bother sending an offer thats just ridiculous i dont HAVE to sell this cue and dont feel like reading stupid offers.
rare meucci?

ok so some of the information i had about this cue may be wrong so this is what i found online about the cue until i can re read the blue book of pool cues to see what it says...Forearm: Birdseye maple covered with black plastic with four ivory colored columns with intricate scrimshawed lines. Also long red veneer lines with brass encased red veneer flames on top.
Wrap: Urethane coated white Irish linen. Uncoated wrap available on request.
Sleeve: Ivory colored white plastic butt sleeve with inlaid pearlized plastic ovals set in cocobolo circles with veneer circles and diamonds. I have the original red dot shaft

I buy and sell cues often enough to have a general idea of what something is worth. I would put the value of this cue at around $350-$450, enjoy it, if the economy gets better add another $100-$200 on the prices listed above or you might find the right buyer too. If it was a Meucci Original it would be worth a bit more.
