I thought that the difference between a plain jane and merry window is that a merry window has inlays or ring work decorations confined within the butt sleeve.
I'm with Mr. Hoppe on this one. Jim's tulipwood cue looks great. Maybe Jim can add leather or send it to Kenny Koo/FLYINGSNAIL for some leather and you're set. A tad bit more cash, but honestly its hard to buy a quality sneaky with leather for 4 bills.
