Beautiful stick!
My parents bought a house 4 blocks from the local bowling alley when I was 12. For the next 10 years, it was our hang out through most of the 70's (also met my wife there). At age 18, I became a starving pro bowler, but if we weren't bowling it was pool or pinball. And, of course, there was always a small wager on the outcome.
There were two huge snooker tables amongst the 10 brunswick tables. I loved the game and it made shooting pool on anything smaller than 9 feet look like a tap in.
