Any idea who made these Butterfly cues?

I have two butterfly cues I've found at a couple different Estate sales....don't know what kind of wood or who might have made them. Different style bumpers and handle carving; one is a double butterfly splice; both light 17to 18 oz!?!?

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks! ;)
 
They might be made by a company called Torino. Torino cues were made in Italy and sold as very mass produced cues made from ramin wood and other not-so-exotic woods. They were also pretty typically light in weight. I am not positive about your cues, but Torino was the first thing that came to mind when I saw them.

Yessir!

Hey Brent,

I'll bet you these are identical cues.....but, mine look better (in the pics :D )

Like you say, probably inexpensive imports from the 70's??? or sometime?

But, the butterfly splices are very nice ;)
