I recently Acquired a vintage Dufferin Butterfly cue in mint condition- basically unused. The bumper has made in Canada imprint. I believe these cues pre date 2005- not sure. My question is: this cue does not have the standard Dufferin aluminum joint. It has a brass pin in the shaft and the butt has a threaded insert -metal- to receive the screw on the shaft. This is basically a flat faced wood to wood joint- NOT the usual Dufferin metal to metal joint.
Did Dufferin produce cues with this wood to wood joint? There are joint collars on the shaft and butt. I am just trying to determine if this is an all original Dufferin that I now have or was the joint replaced at one time- hard to imagine that the joint was replaced as the cue is basically unplayed for maybe a few racks or so. it came in a mint Joe Porper 1X1 Classic series protect a cue case.
Cue plays great with the wood to wood joint - much better than the standard Dufferin aluminum joints. I would imagine the age of this cue to be 1990s or so- red maple leaf.
