Mind if I ask why you are interested in the make and model?
The cue is an extremely plain cue, and is worth a hundred, max without any sort of providence.

If you move it to the Main forum. You'll probably get more responses.
Yep.
Nothing special there, but if it hits good, I'd give $100 for it as a house cue.
Not any more though...

Maybe, but the cue is so unremarkable in so many ways that it borders on remarkable in it's unremarkableness.
It could be any entry level cue from anyone, sportcraft to about three thousand makers. It wouldn't surprise me if it was won at a county fair, it wouldn't surprise me if it were the fourth cue that Johan Spondonovich from Schenectady built.
About the only thing it has going for it is the lack of a giant kitty on it
I don't intend to be mean, if the cue plays well, great, it's a fine tool for the job at hand and I wouldn't be embarrassed playing with it. It's a futile exercise to guess who might have made it, because unless Johan sees it and verifies he made it, nobody will ever know for sure.
Or maybe I'm wrong.
At first glance, I thought Palmer and Mali but the ring work is throwing me off.

That's not a Meucci. They didn't have pilot joints. Bumper doesn't look right either.

Do they even know what Meucci looks like?

Looks pretty average for a production shop to me. It's not a great piece of wood to begin with, the rings aren't fantastic, then the fact that they stole the bumper off granny's walker really tops it off.
I don't get it. How does anyone look at a cue like that and think, 'someone really put some thought in this' when the wood is pallet-grade stock?
I know everybody wants every garage sale find to be a Herman Szambushka, but let's face it, the chances are that the cue had a gold sticker that said, 'Made in Taiwan' at one point.
