Here we have a rare offering. Tony used three logos from his first cues to present day. The CustomBB logo was used to introduce his six point cues. Players and collectors feel that these are his best playing cues. Unfortunately this particular logo took much time and extreme care to engrave. To the point that Tony only did this logo on a handful of cues. He then switched to the more simplified BB. Making the CustomBB logo very very rare.
This cue also features another rare aspect seeing that it is built with L-Channel points. There are 18 distinct points in the forearm. Tony never uses veneers. This method is very time consuming to do. To the extent that Tony has not duplicated them again since the mid 90’s. It is estimated he built 15-20 total cues with the L-Channel points and out of those only a very few with the Custom logo. Seeing that this cue has both, makes it a real find for a collector. The return points of Tulip, just above the wrap, are razor sharp and add a stunning look that can’t be achieved with any amount of inlays.
This was a one owner cue when we acquired it. The owner stated to us that they never had any work done on this cue by any one. Including Tony. This cue is all original. There is one small pock mark on the natural ferrule. The mark has no effect on the cues playability. We feel it is best to leave it and keep the cue in its original form.
This cue is stunning! The quality and attention to detail are hard to describe in simple terms or pictures that honestly just don’t do it justice. It hits a Ton…as many like to say. Thank you so much for parting with something I am sure you will some day wish you hadn’t. 🙂 It is in good hands. Thank you again. Christopher / Arizona

A definite time capsule cue. It looks as though it has been refinished. However; there are no dents, dings or scratches under the finish that would suggest that it was refinished. The veneers are flat and without luster suggesting that it was not recently sanded. Not a dent or ding on the shaft also. The blemish in the wood above the 22 is just that. It is not a burn, scratch or filled dent. It is just a character mark in the wood from a time when such things did not matter to those who where making the cues. You could use it for a conversion but in this condition it makes a very fine collectible. The shaft has a less than 16th of an inch taper that does not affect play. When the shaft is rolled on our table the center does not touch. It is that slight of a taper. We don’t know the history on this cue but sometimes cues just have a way of not getting played and then resurfacing. If you’re looking for a Hoppe for your collection don’t pass this one up.

We honestly don’t know much about Meuccis, but this cue has to be from the late 70′s due to its color. It sat in a closet for almost twenty years until we got it from its second owner. We have done hours of research and have never seen an Original that is an exact match to this one. It has the most intense yellowing of Meucci’s old finish we have ever seen. We have heard a lot of opinions from a lot of collectors, but nobody has ever produced a picture of an exact copy of this cue. A great cue for the unique Meucci collector.

We have to tell you up front that this jump cue was originally a four piece cue. It is missing the one longer 13″ butt piece that would make it at its longest a 54″ jump cue. This cue came to us as part of a package deal and we decided to put it on our Cases Etc. page for someone looking for an inexpensive jump cue to extend their over all game. As is fully assembled it is 47″ and makes a great jump cue for those close ball jump shots. This is the length that is used in over 90% of all jump shots. When these cues were released they sold for $225.00 new. At this price you can get a very good jumper and still have money left to buy a round on league night.

A very nice piece from Bob who is only building about 10 to 20 cues a year in the winter months. Any of the newer cues are truly one of a kind and sure to appreciate in value. This is a great hitting/solid cue. Bob has said that he is no longer buying materials and when they’re all gone, he’s done. Good for him.
