Hi All,

Offered here is a 1950s titleist cue that was converted by John Showman, it is Brazilian rosewood into BEM. It comes with a rust coloured lizard 1x2 Ron Thomas case with the Showman ivory token on top. The cue plays lights out!!

The butt is mint except for a minor (and I do mean minor) blemish on the genuine cortland wrap. One shaft is unplayed, and the other has only seen a few hours of play. The one which has been played has a hint of blu-ing, again minor and a scratch on the ferrule. The cue comes with the original bill of sale from John and a certificate guaranteeing the authenticity of the Cortland linen wrap. The butt has one of John's fancy ebony and ivory JPs.

Pictures are here:

Price is $3,700 shipped

Payment to be made by bank transfer.
 
I have just been informed these are Tank's photos, I had wrongly assumed I was using Ralf's photos since he sent them to me when I bought the cue. I am going to remove these from my Picasa and take my own photos today. MJParenti, could you please take down the pics in your post.

In the Picture of the Joint Protector and the Brass Inserts in the shafts,
"SHOWMAN" And A DATE IS ENGRAVED in the Brass joint Inserts ;)

John Builds One of the best cues in the country,
Especially If you consider His Shop And Equipment.
Really basic looking lathe and such,
