Titlist Cues and web-site

Excellent Start

AWESOME.... it will be a fun site to visit :)

Looking forward to some more pics -- and some cues for sale too :D
 
I was just asking myself the other day, how come there is no site for titlist cue.;)
Good work.

You can actually invite others to let them post their titlist on your web site. and the owner name + cuemaker stated on the site. And probably the value of the cue and location of the cue. It would be great. Maybe like a titlist Directory cum dictionary. :D

I just finished the Welcome page of my new Titlists web-site. 6 of the cues are Titlists and the last one is the pre-Titlist I recently refinished. If anyone old Brunswick collectors would like to contribute links or pages, let me know.

I just added a rough cut of the "Willie Hoppe" page. My goal is to get stuff up as quick as possible, then modify as I get better scans and information. The Hoppe page will be very extensive, and will probably evolve into multiple pages. I'm thinking of sort of a "repository" approach, with picture buttons on each page linking to related web-pages, rather than simply link-lists. That way I can solicit pages from others' sites and keep a common look and feel. If you want to participate, just let me know and send page links. This is preferable to me building pages from your pictures, but either will work.
 
looking forward to ur site scott... i actually had a website done up about 2 months back but i never did bother hosting and uploading it, guess its left to u to hold the titlist torch high now :)
 
I know its just started , but what a great start ,nice pictures and im sure it will fill up quick.........Keep up the great work !! :)
 
Nice graphics. I'll be contributing. I've sent an e-mail to get the ball rolling.

It's going to take some work on your part, but I think you will find it to be well worth it.

Thanks Chris, I just got the "4-veneer" comparison page up, and plan to add yoru Brunswick catalog images next - I want to have a link to each catalog year from 1920's to 1970's, with pics of labels and cues connected to each link.

I just paid an arm and a leg for an original Brunswick 1939 catalog - it has the Carom King which became the Titlist and all the other Brunswick cues from that date. I'll scan it and send it in due course.

Thanks. It has been much more difficult to i.d. woods than I thought it would be. I have seen a few cues exactly like that one described as rosewood, etc., and I also checked a wood web-site that had a vastly different-looking picture. So I thought about changing the description to "unknown", but figured - "Hey, maybe someone will enlighten me!" So thanks again - fortunately it's a beautiful cue that I doubt will leave my collection, so little chance of anyone getting deceived monetarily.

I recently acquired an orangish 30's 1-piece with leather wrap that I thought was oak. I sanded a little and the smell was extremely familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it - not oak. Then today I received another cue exactly like it from a different seller, but without a wrap. These wood enigmas are driving me nuts. :confused:

The other wood that is used a lot is jatoba, "Brazilian Cherry" which has the appearance of honduras mahogany, kind of an orange/red color, with coarse grain. I'll keep an eye out for the ipe too.

Woods are not easy to identify because of the variation in grain and color even in the same species.

Maybe that's what these are - someone else suggested they might be cherry.
