Could be anything but it looks like it could be a Verl Horn cue to me. Some of the people here are experts on Verl's cues, they should chime in.

Take a close look at the joint and see if this matches: https://www.proficientbilliards.com/cuerepair/picture.php?/3305/category/580

Sort of looks like an old Joss West to me.

That's a Josswest. If the JW is missing than someone replaced the buttcap. I had one exactly like it. http://www.josswest.net/tulsa.html You could get it with steel or ivory joint.

It resembles a late 70s Josswest, joint and pin different from the catalog, but that's what I would go with. Suspect a butt plate replacement.

All the best,
WW

Bill was in Tulsa from '74-'78. Made a lot of cues like this one. Joint style was up to the buyer. Cue was about $250, maybe 300bux new. A lot then.

That's a very good cue, probably an early Stroud from the 70's, when he was making one of the most popular player's cues. Many top players were shooting with his stuff back then. I would value that cue over $1,000. Too bad the JW is gone though, but there may be identity under the butt cap.
