This is a rare, vintage Joe Porper (Creative Inventions) cue. Joe did not make many cues and his cues are no longer being made. This cue has two original shafts and one of the shafts is unused and has never been chalked. The cue has Joe's custom piloted joint with a custom radial pin. This cue is 58" long and one shaft weighs approx. 19 1/4" oz.and the other shaft weighs approx. 19 1/2" oz. It has an Irish linen wrap with ivory colored diamonds on ebony lining the top and bottom of the wrap and on the bottom of the butt. Joe Porper cues have a softer hitting reverse piloted concave cone joint that screws into a linen phenolic insert in the shaft. The cue has eight ivory colored ebony points on the forearm that Joe made by hand on a pantograph. The cue and shafts have nickel silver rings on the joints and butt. I bought this cue new, directly from Joe Porper approx. 15 years ago. I shot 5 or 6 balls (not games) with only one of the shafts, then cased the cue and two shafts where it has remained ever since. Other than the chalk on one tip, this cue is in the same condition as the day I bought it. The butt and both shafts come with Joe Porper's custom aluminum joint protectors.This unique cue is very collectible as Joe Porper no longer makes cues. The JP (Joe Porper) logo is on the butt cap. Note: any white or discolored areas on the photos are only a result of camera flash reflection. I'm asking $775 or best offer. If interested, contact me at noddon1@aol.com.
