Is eBay selling an Adam cue, a forgery, or a no-name cue? Is seller clueless?

Actually some carom cues did and do have metal pins, either in the butt or in the shaft. Ans there are some pool cues with wood pins.

There are always exceptions to such things I guess....
I will concede 'do' and claim 'did not'.

Perhaps I was exposed to Bobjewett and ineed to fill a gap. Got any examples?

Yes.

Eddie Laube metal pin in shaft pool cues.
Burton Spain metal pin in shaft pool cues.
Ray Schuler, Noel Mendoza, Jacoby metal pin in butt carom cues and pool cues.
Layani conical joint face, metal pin in shaft, both pool and carom cues.
Chuck Starkey wood pin in butt pool cues. (Is he still around here?)
Dufferin metal pin in shaft pool cues and snooker cues.
Brunswick metal pin in shaft pool cues, snooker cues, and carom cues.

Many antique pool cues have the metal pin in the shaft, and I have a few examples of those personally.

Much appreciated.

Are the Brunswicks the carom kings?

No, well not just those. This is an example.

Here is a Brunswick Tru-Skil which is a snooker cue, 60.5 inches. Maple shaft, brass pin in shaft, straight taper, very small tip, I think 10 or 10.5 mm if I remember correctly.

I do own one, but this one is not mine. I couldn't find my pictures. My shaft is in better shape.

These were from Brunswick of Canada.
