Dufferin Canada cues - pool cue industry in Canada

[sciarco]

I have a few very old, original Dufferin cues back when they did not yet put the maple leaf inside the glass window on the cue butt. These vintage Dufferin cues had the letter D inside a letter C on the cue butt ( Canadian Dufferin). Those very old Dufferins were well seasoned hardwood cue butts- mine is Pau Ferro and so incredibly beautiful as a solid wood cue butt with a flame veneer butterfly splice . I got my cues directly from Canadiens and these were closet queen cues from the 70s, early 80s in mint condition 2 piece cues. These cues stayed straight for about 50 years now and you can get upgraded 12.5MM shafts from a Canadian company - F. G. Bradley with the aluminum joint, which, if you put a high quality soft tip onView attachment 780878View attachment 780881View attachment 780882 these shafts- the cue plays fantastic!

I'm only 40 minutes from Bradley's gonna go there buy an aluminum 12.50mm shaft for my green leaf Dufferin see how it plays .

Brave man.

Dave <-- Canadian and owns several Dufferin Phantoms from the 1990s and an interesting Dufferin that has a flat laminated shaft AND forearm.

PS oh ya, my table is also a Dufferin, one from very early in their table business

Those laminated shaft cues were the only ones that Joe Davis would endorse.
