Vintage High End Billiards Pool Cue Stick Jimmy Rempe By Meucci JR-2 with Case. Measures about 58" long, weighs 1 pound 4.7 ounces on my digital postal scale. The base is simple marked Jimmy Rempe by Meucci. I did some research and found this one is known as the model JR-2 and dated to late 1970's early 1980's. It has the 2 screw on shaft protectors. It come in a fine padded vase made by Excalibur. Found in a zipper pocket in the case and also included are 9 replacement tips (there was... originally 10 and since only one was used I would say that is a good sign this cue was not used much at all), a metal chalk holder, a bridge piece and 2 cool 8 ball enamel pins. Everything you see in my photos is included. I would call it fine with minimal wear but please refer to my detailed photos. I rolled it on the floor and it rolled nice and even. I am listing 2 other cues that came with this stick from same estate - 1 is marked Brunswick and the other may be another Meucci but I could not find a name, please check my other listings. I will always combine shipping to save postage costs.

Meucci Pool CuesMeucci is probably the best known, legendary pool cue brand available today. Why? Because Bob Meucci has been building the most aesthetically pleasing and technologically advanced pool cues since the mid 60's.Bob even provided pool cue fronts (blanks) to the famed Gus Szamboti and George Balabushka and he perfected the seamless plastic veneer points. As the first famed innovator, Bob Meucci is credited for setting the standard in manufacturing of pool cues with the more precise metal lathes, rather than the wood lathes. Also, Meucci was the first to popularize the longer pro taper on cue shafts.Meucci pool cues had more professional and semi-pro players than any other manufacturer in the late 70's and 80's. With their popularity at an all time high, 70 percent of all professional money won in tournaments was won with a Meucci pool cue.In the late 90's Bob Meucci developed the testing robot, "The Myth Destroyer" to test cue ball speed and deflection. Even today, Meucci pool cues continue upgrading and testing their cue shafts and this is why they are one of the leading choices of many players.Located in Byhalia Mississippi, if visiting the Meucci Factory today, you will find that the old world craftsmanship is still alive and well in the United States. For half a century, Meucci has been celebrated for building the most beautiful pool cues on the market and making their works of art perform with more power with less effort.
