Hey folks.

I am curious about this site and the information on it. Alot of information of haven't seen elsewhere. I did a forum search and nothing came up about the site. Anyone know it ?

I had a few emails with the owner. He gave me some information on an old willie hoppe cue. Seemed helpful to me.

I really like the site and pictures. I am not sure his early dates on the Hoppe cues are correct. I have read many dates that slightly contradict the dates posted but as far as I know it somewhat a mystery the exact date when the first Hoppe cues were started. If the decals on his site are what you get when ordering then I am impressed. They are very close to the originals and look much better then others I have seen.

Paul Mineart is a authority on vintage cues and this site is a valuable resource for dating these vintage cues. Thanks for the link.

Maybe a pair of garden shears?

I’m guessing his wife wasn’t very impressed!

What's the point of the cutout?

What's the point of the cutout?

Never have to move the table to remove for cleaning or any other reason. Plus, having the table on a hard floor would keep it level for longer, not having any compression of the rug over time.

It also looks cool.

Just tell her you got it 50% off because of the hole in the middle, so you actually saved money by spending money.

It is obvious this guy is passionate about the game as well as its history. Very cool.

He was very helpful when i emailed him. He matched up the cue i had by the decal and signature to get the years they were made. Just cool history as well.

I am thinking he made it. It was probably just the right size and the pattern lent it'self to being cut. I say this because if he had it made it would be more under the table. As it is now your one foot is on the carpet and your front foot is on the bare floor when playing.

An interior designer can order a rug to any dimension including the interior pattern. A friend used to do interior design of cruise ships, hotels and such. Looks custom made, nice,
