Castello Shapes 4

65.gif (4006 bytes)#65 - Classic 3/4 bent Billiard. This is probably the most popular standard Castello shape and is readily available in all sizes and finishes. The bowl shape can vary from "rounded" to classic parallel walls and comes with either a saddle or taper bit. Common in G/GG and popular sizes. [SR, OA, TM, CS, CO, EP, FA]
66.gif (4379 bytes)#66 - 3/4 to full bent rounded Billiard with a Diamond shank and saddle bit. This shape is very popular and fairly common (lately hard to find),
although limited in production. Fairly common in G/GG sizes with the non-smooth pieces running smaller as a rule than the smooth. [SR, OA, TM,
                                    CS, CO]
67.gif (3309 bytes)#67 - Medium large thick walled Pot/Billiard with a "domed" shank and flat base on the bottom of the bowl and shank. This is a fairly common shape which is readily available and always found with a taper bit. The shape runs toward the larger with G/GG fairly common in the non-smooth shapes.
Fairly rare in the smaller sizes. [SR, OA, TM, CS, CO, EP]

#74 - Extra large, tall stacked "shank" or Chimney with a short shank and stick type bit. This shape is more common in the G/GG size than it is in the "standard" sizes. The bowls are thin in width, 3 to 4 inches tall and have fairly thick walls. Shank extensions are usually made of Lucite rather than briar. Sometimes marked "774" instead of G74. [SR, OA TM, CS, CO]

75.gif (4386 bytes)#75 - Straight classic Lovat or long round shank Billiard. This piece is always found with a short saddle bit. Fairly popular and readily available in most sizes and finishes. As with the #32 (long shank) Canadian, G/GG sizes are available with the grade referring to shank length more so than
bowl size. [SR, OA, TM, CS, CO, EP, FA]
84.gif (4451 bytes)#84 - "Inverted Bent Billiard or Hawkbill Shape" is how this shape is listed on our 1985 listing. The pieces that we have had lately are more like a squat Apple styled bowl with an oval "S" bent longer shank and short taper bit. This is a very difficult to make and limited shape which has become very popular over the last few years (1996-98). Available in standard and G/GG size. [SR, OA, TM, CS, CO, FA, SL] note: Also known as a Hawkbill in the USA.

#85 - Bull Moose Panel - Not common - no information.

87.gif (4014 bytes)#87 - Slightly bent Poker or Cherrywood with a saddle bit and flat base to the bowl. This is a very limited shape that is fairly popular when available. Never seen in a G/GG size and not common in smooth finishes. During 199-98 this shape has been offered with an oval shank. [SR, OA, TM, CO, CS]
88.gif (4020 bytes)#88 - Slightly bent army mounted Poker with stick bit. This, like the #87 Poker is fairly popular, but seldom produced. Not available in G/GG sizes or rarely in smooth finishes. [SR, OA, CO, CS]

#89 - Full bent Poker - Not available, no real information.
