How about pool cues?
Okay, we've discussed pocket knives, stogies, and firearms. How about pool cues as collectables? Didn't know that was popular?
Here's a lifted off the net pic of one I have....mine's mint. Bought in the early 70's, through a friend who got a discount if he ordered two. It's a model M from Palmer's 2nd catalog, and was made by Gene Balner himself, since he made all the Model M's because if the difficulty of the double wavy inlays. Gene Balenr, founder of Palmer cues, is no longer with us. Mine is mint because I kind of quit playing when life got too busy for games. So, it sat in it's original case with it's two shafts for decades.

Whoops..forgot the pics. Hold on:
     This cue in the pics is obviously a restored one. The plastic butt piece is made of non original plastic. The original plastic wasn't a solid color, more grey & white blended, to simulate abolone shell. Common replacement, since bouncing the rubber bumper (more like smashing after a missed shot) would expand the bumper enough to shatter the original butt piece.
