Cuetec and Becue are two companies I know of that offer wood veneer as a wrap on a handle, and wondered are there any custom cue makers out there that also do this? I personally like the idea if the line on the wrap is seamless, and there are no issues down the road. A high quality piece of veneer with consistent grain wrapped all the way around the cue, no A/B sides when rotated.

That is a brass piloted joint.
Along with the metal rings, synthetic wrap, and a few other differences, one can see it isn't a Meucci.
This is a cheap Asian import clone.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to identify this vintage Gambler-style cue from a large cue collection.
At first glance it looks very similar to older Meucci Gambler cues, but there is no visible Meucci logo, so I don’t want to assume anything without better evidence.

Here are the specs:
Total weight: 21.7 oz
Total length: 58.5 in
Butt length: 30 in
Tip: approximately 13.2 mm
Joint: appears to be 5/16x18
Wood-to-wood style joint
Vintage maple shaft
Butt and shaft roll straight
Internal weight bolt / Allen-style construction
The design, joint and overall construction seem very close to vintage Meucci, but the missing logo is what makes me hesitate.

Has anyone seen this exact cue or know who made it?

Could it be an older Meucci Gambler variation, a private-label cue, or a copy from another maker?
Any help would be appreciated. I can add more close-up photos of the joint, butt cap, shaft insert, bumper area, or inlays if needed.
Thanks!
