older cues, black ferrule
- Thread starter ctyhntr

I don't know if it's the same material as the white fiber ferrule offered back then but it machines simular.
Brunswick also used a fairly soft plastic at one point. Mike showed the fiber-based. There's a non-fiber that you can make one continuous ribbon out of, very very soft.
The fiber based ones were good...the other ones swelled a lot.
I agree on both counts.
I have a big bag of the fiber and a couple of Brunswick Repair Kits worth of the plastic for that reason
Funny that used used the word "point". That is what Brunswick used to call them back in the day.:grin:
Yep, fiber and ivory points
Or as Brunswick called them "Fibre" points. Must be a Euro thing.
Goes all the way back to 1066....when Harold lost to William the Conqueror.
...a lot of French entered the English language.
C’est la vie
I think I missed that battle. I was busy playing croquet at King Henry's palace, fifty shillings a wicket. Merci beaucoup.
