Need Help??? 1900's Brunswick?
- Thread starter cuebird
- Start date
Cue specs
Joint size= .835
Butt size at bottom= 1.372
Black rings appear to be ebony, almost 100% sure. At the bottom of the cue appears to have had label on it at one time or another. This cue has a 16 oz stamp on it. Looks to be untouched and very very old.

i've got a few of those double butterfly cues
tom cunningham can probably help you the most
i've paid anywhere between $100 & $400 for them
the black at joint is plastic, not sure what kind of plastic, but sherm has a coffee can full of those black & white rings at his shop
almost all of those cues had the top set of butterflies cut off to do joint
i have heard, wouldn't swear to it, but those cues were meant to be one pc cues that the shaft warped, so they cut to two pc cues??? who knows??
i wish there was an old ex brunswick employee on az that could help with more info
my dad's cue, that he bought in 1951 for his 15th bday, paid $12 for it new
here's my personal shootin' iron
i cored into forearm , so as to not lose the top set of butterflies
i paid about $75 for this
it was in horrible condition as a one pc cue
see where they cut off the top butterfly for joint

I believe Tom's ID here is TECUNNINGHAM if you want to message him. I know that he has a one piece double butterfly (straight) for sale too. He had told me that many of these were made by Schaaf Manufacturing and were marketed by Brunswick. I could be wrong, but I think he said this was called a model 21. I did a little research on Schaaf at one time, and next to nothing can be found.
