Thanks. I wasn’t so much concerned about the value. I was mainly hoping to identify the maker based on the unusual (to me) pointed 5/16×14 pin. That’s the part that’s been nagging at me.

looks like it might be an import to me because of the looks of the ferrule. or a cheap adam.

in any case the shaft has a crack in it so no longer would have any real value. other than something to leave in the car for a bar cue.

Cloth is actually grey. Very similar to the Simonis Shark gray.
The table looks like PRC, but with a gray laminate and black tracers/logos.

“Vision center” doesn’t mean the cue centered between the eyes - it means the cue/eyes position where “straight looks straight”. For you (and me) that’s with the cue under the (strongly) dominant eye - for others (with less strongly dominant eyes) the cue can be centered or somewhere in between, generally favoring the dominant eye.

The 1891 edition is quite a bit larger than the others and has the diagrams printed in green rather than black.
