Has anyone seen this joint construction technique before?
- Thread starter RingKing
- Start date
Seen on some older Brunswick cues as well
Good info, thanks. There is an interesting cue im looking at with a brass but plate, rectangle MOP butt inlay, carved handle into ebony titlist with points cut off by the joint, it a Frankenstein looking cue, makes me think of the outside the box style of Paradise but im far from an expert. Heres a few more pics,

I hope you don't accidently turn that stove on!
Do we know if they did this throughout there career or just early on? Was there an epoxy or glue that came along and deemed this unnecessary?
Noticed that auction.
Never seen a brass butt plate like that.
Expect somebody a long long time ago took a very old rosewood butt and joined it to a 26.5 cue.
When, why or who is anyone's guess.
The points of the cue were cut off by the brass joint. Unusual feature.

The cue is ancient, 1920's or earlier I would guess. It probably started life as a 26 1/2 and someone modified it. The checkered handle looks just like the handles on some early Brunswicks ( a 15 cent option, LOL). The modifications were done a long time ago as well. Looking at the pics, I would guess it is heavily oxidized rosewood. I have a few cues that color myself. Unfortunately, the joint position removes any desire I might have to own it.
