One of the cues in this set — shown above on the bottom row — was donated to the Smithsonian Institution by Harold Wegweiser, a world-class bronze sculptor and distinguished cue collector from New York City. The curator of the American National Museum of American History selected fifteen cues from leading American cue makers for a future exhibition, recognizing custom cue making as an emerging American art form. It was both an honor and a defining moment to be included in this historic collection.
