I would be very proud to have these in my collection.
That would be on the list! Getting the HI-RUN, CAROM KING and the MEDALIST are also on my list but they are a little hard to come across.Where's your wartime?
Thanks.
It is nice that these four cues all have original shafts, although I am not sure that the shaft for my earliest Hoppe is original to that cue(far left).
Far right, Oak? Brian.
1st cue from left 1940 to 45ish. 2nd 1946 to around 51.
From 52 for the next 9 or 10 years would cover the 3rd label. And the fourth was from the early 60's until the green and white labels started.
Just info that I have collected from the web.
I have a few other Keen Shot cues, text me and I'll send photos in case there is an upgrade for you
Challengers were typically one piece Maple cues with stained/painted points. But I have seen a few real spliced Oak cues with the Challenger decals on them. I have one myself.
I would love to check them out. I am starting to feel guilty typing this at work
. I will text you later today.
I want someone to build me an Oak Titlist, so far, no takers. Brian.
I went to a cue show in Denver years ago. There were several Oak Titlists on display.
Very cool cues.
Oak Titlists are out there, the problem is the veneers always look weird with the light wood on both sides
I want a Titlist Tribute in every wood they offered. Brian.
Having one made as we speak, non-original blank. Brian.I have an ebony blank for you then
