bulletCondition:
bulletThis cue has not sit in someone's collection gathering dust and as such, does show some signs of wear, but it is in very good condition. It has some light bluing on both of the original shafts (one shaft appears to have had almost no play and looks "almost" new).
bulletThe finish and the Irish Linen wrap are both original and the wrap does show some wear. The finish has held up very well.
bulletComments:
bulletThis cue is a true "one-of-a-kind". It is numbered 967 (which means it was the 7th cue produced by Joe in 1996).
bulletThis cue comes with the custom made Joint Protectors seen in the upper right hand picture on this page.
bullet Note: This specific cue appears in the Second Edition of the Blue Book of Pool Cues on Page 89. This cue is very rare and would be an excellent addition to anyone's collection or arsenal.
