Aqua, red, gold, silver, black, copper and green in solids.. it seems to be a shiny almost metalic acrylic. I have yet to see a deep blue, but its probably out there. I think MK has aqua/red/black in his "stash". I think I may get a piece of the aqua to get a tribute stlye cue made. The bakelite / catalin marblized stuff is older, more rare I think. I have a green/white rod of 1 1/2" diameter catalin, bout 3 ft long.
Where I think Paradise tended more to gaudiness, Bushka was a bit more tasteful.

The Bushka on Ebay now is an aqua shade. The cue on ebay is one of my favorite patterns in the back end.
I don't know where the wrap spool originated.

i like the one with the gold work framing the butt diamond.seen another like it with a frame 2/3'rds the size of that one. also like the double red ring butt.
who took the pic? would have required a lot of photoshop work to use.
most are in bad need of a refin!
got any tasca out takes???
penn?
I believe if they are all his. I can honestly tell you I know the photographer and I would be shocked if he knew anything about photoshop. In fact I think the photos all came out good by "accident".
Yeah we might have a Tascarella pic or two.. but there are a few elements that carried over that we want the BB3 to publish first. (Plus I don't want Marcus to get to excited)

Here is the same design, probably made in 72-74, it was on a Szamboti forearm cue. Its clearly silver.

I Think I Would Have Had A Break Done As Well. I Would Have Taken Some Prozac Along To Keep Me Stable. From What I Know, I Have Two That Are Going To Be In There. But I Guess You Don't Know, Til The Pictures Come Out.(althogh I Trust Where That Info Came From)
