Can anybody ID this cue?

I don't know

I just compared a Dufferin joint to this one. The Dufferin has an ~1/16" high step at the bade of the male threads. When I screw a Dufferin shaft onto my cue, the threads fit perfect, but it stops about a 1/16" from mating. My butt and shaft have the Dufferin looking joint only with a flat face at the base of the male threads. The Dufferin pin is 1 1/16" long from the face of the joint, mine is 29/32". The first step on the Dufferin is 1/16" and the pilot pin is also a tad longer. The thread length is the same. So I'm thinking not a Dufferin, unless someone modified it? Were Schmelke joints identical to Dufferin?
There were no makings worn off, the cue was unmarked in 1973. The cue gets use on the snooker table. We have a weekly snooker game and, dare I admit, 3 handed golf game for the last 30 years. Wolf
 
Does anyone know?

Schmelke, if I am spelling their name correctly, used to build cues for Brunswick. The pin/joint tells all the information in question. Schmelke manufactured either for their own sales or Brunswick.

Someone always comes up with the answers on this stuff, it's amazing. I have an old sneakie that I think is a Schmelke, with a unique looking joint that screwed together is 2 1/2" overall, lots of brass, stainless, and black phenolic on the shaft, brass & stainless on the butt end. the pin is on the butt end, 1/2" diameter, 1/2" long, and about 7-fine threads. The butt cap is mother of pearl. This cue is also perfectly straight, and it looks very old. I thought it could be a Schmelke. I use it for a house cue and my girlfriend in joking fashion won't play with it, she says "I'm not playing with a Schmelke" but doesn't pronounce it right. Does anyone else think it is a Schmelke?
 
Wow I finally get to comment on a "ID this cue" thread! I have seen that model before and Bama's right...Dufferin. I have seen it with the B and with the Dufferin maple leaf logo as well.
 
The powers that be, prevail again!.
I have an extra shaft for it if you need one.
lol
Seems like I'm saying that alot lately....
The forearm split in the points on mine, so I don't really need a shaft that doesn't fit anything else I own.
