That is it. Weir. Far cry from a Bushka.
Buschka?
It looks like a Robert Weir cue that has been refinished and the flying W with the wings has been removed from between the points even the maple box stitch joint collar rings look correct for Weir, There were about 5 different models and they all came with the old yellow Micarta ferrules and joints, I may be wrong but just google Robert Weir and check!

Definitely a Weir cue. Not Micarta though. Should be buckhorn joint and ferrule.
Did not think it looked like any type of phenolic either, the grain on the material looked ivory like, buckhorn would do the trick.
Someone probably said Balbushka because it looked old and that was the only old cuemaker they knew.
I think they are Micarta. What you are seeing is the layers of paper that have been turned which give them a look like some kind of grain. Here is a good article from DZ cues that have some pictures (that can be enlarged) of the old Westinghouse asbestos based Micarta compared to newer phenolics:

Weir Cue
If the cue is straight, I'd go $150 max

I thought I had a deal with the OP ad he said he shipped the cue. That was a month ago. I guess I should stop checking for its arrival every day.

I get back from vacation tomorrow. I will check to see what happened. I apologize that it did not arrive. One of my employees could have made a mistake. Either way I will let you know
