Unknown ID help.

I'm confused. Are you asking whether it is a Dufferin or are you making a joke?

Only the butt is a Dufferin...from a sneaky or a house cue.
The shaft is after-market 'cause the Dufferin standard was 12.5 mm tip.

I'm thinking that a thousand cue makers could've done this....
...but I got Jim Baxter in mind.
 
I'm well aware a Dufferin butt was used. It is obviously a coversion, as Dufferin never used this pin, nor did they use this bumper/buttcap. Small details allow one to recognize the maker. An ivory ferrule on a conversion is a good sign, just so you know.

Considering this cue was purchased in 1992, Jim Baxter is not a possibility.

Since I'm on the other side of the country, I don't know the makers out of Florida in the early 90's.

Wayne Gunn, Pete Ohman, Dennis Searing, I think Rocky Tillis was still alive.

The devil is in the details, as they say.
 
well there are cue makers in 49 other states that could have made it too, cues can get around fast even before the interweb.
Don't know how you could ever get an positive id on this one

The pin looks great. McDermott-style pin.

Since it was bought in 1992 new, I think that whittles down the the potential makers. I aware it could be many, but I was thinking the area of Florida that it was purchased in, the 1.25" ivory ferrule, the clean pin, the buttcap and potentially the recessed bumper could help. Most AZer's are newish, and automatically think of makers that made cues in the last 10 years. I know that sneakys are hard to decipher at times, but it is the challenge that I enjoy.
