Pre-1900, an odd duck there
The screw and bumper are old Brunswick hardware, that's why I presumed it was
is it pre 1900? my client who owns this wants it tidied up so he can play with it,
i am going to use cyno to finish and irish linen over the two black sections which are thinner than the handle,ferrule is cracked so has to go it, might be ivory so what would be a good alternative

The wood screw says old, but not necessarily pre 1900. That method is typical of many European cues,
most notably Hiolle. Brunswick had a factory in France back in the good old days.
Buckhorn would be a great alternative, back when that cue was new it was offered as a lower cost option to those who didn't want to pay the extra DIME for an ivory ferrule
The specs are typical for cues of that era.

It's probably a Brunswick cue for caroms. I second the buckhorn recommendation for the ferrule if you want to be as authentic as possible without using ivory. Also, I think the wrap wants to be leather or cork.
I have some old Brunswick catalogs, but not for European items.

this an odd one as the handle does not get wrapped but the two sections next to the handle which are 2.5"and 3"long
