Rare Jim Rempe Meucci Cue: Have you seen this before?
Categories: Collectable Cues, Meucci Originals Inc.
Written By: Skippy
Hi folks. I was contacted by one of my readers about a Jim Rempe Meucci cue that he acquired.
This cue is pretty cool. It has an inlaw (or scrimshaw?) that is an outline of Jim Rempe in his shooting stance. I've never seen this Meucci cue before. Have you?
He is trying to get some background on it and find out if any others were produced. Check out the pictures below. Please, comment if you have any insights, questions or facts about this particular cue stick. My readers are GREAT...I'm sure someone out there has seen this vintage Meucci before.
Leave a comment or contact me if you have any helpful information or thoughts about this cue.
Cheers,
Skippy

Nice older “Helmstetter ” cue from the 70’s. It’s not a Meucci cue!

I go with Scott on this. A dead giveaway is the length of the ferrule: Meucci’s have the longest ferrules I’ve seen.. This actual Cue is now for sale on eBay (exactly the same pics, starting @ $400, see on right of page). I suppose seller never saw THIS page. I have a Jim Rempe by Meucci (this is written on butt). Not a real good one (warped butt, was sold as is, only $160). I’ll try to post some pics if I can.

I put the cue on ebay to see what comments i would get and or the value of the cue…i dont know much about it which was why I assumed it was a meucci. What would you say is the value of this cue?

I have a Rempe Stick
Paid $100.00
It has a parrot sitting on a ball engraved with split wrap.
This cue needs restoration – new wrap and the engraving is faded
due to some minor refinish sanding that I think was done.

@ M Klein,
You mentioned the cue needed a new wrap. Does the wrap have the finish over it? You don’t see too many Meucci’s without the coating on the wrap.

Sorry for the delay in answering.
Yes the linen wrap has a coating.
What is a fair price for this cue?
It has a thin groove cut in the butt around the bottom at the end of the wrap.
Does this mean anything, like a defect or 2nd?
