That’s an interesting cue stick. Normally, since the joint pin is in the shaft, I would suspect that the Q was made in Asia. However, the construction and materials used do not suggest this in my opinion. The reason the joint pin may be in the shaft is because it came loose from cues butt and stuck in the shaft. Can you supply better photos of the joint? Also, if I were you, I would try to see if the pin will unscrew from the shaft. Also, is that a 5/16-18 pin?
That was going to be my guess as well, with the shaft pin in the shaft portion. He was known to do some cues with black buttplates, I believe.Burton Spain. Nice cue.
I sincerely doubt it's a sticker. It looks like a stack of vinyl veneers like the veneers used on Wico blanks.Pretty sure what ever that three stripe thing is, it's a sticker.
Did Burton Spain use stickers?
So I have a couple of Vikings with Wico points and they don't look anything like that...I sincerely doubt it's a sticker. It looks like a stack of vinyl veneers like the veneers used on Wico blanks.
The color pattern is different. But they look like a synthetic (vinyl) stack to me. You can even see the edge of the orange layer where either it has swelled or the butt cap has shrunk.So I have a couple of Vikings with Wico points and they don't look anything like that...View attachment 849660
Highly likely.Burton Spain. Nice cue.
