Has there ever been a quality cue manufacturer that put the joint stud in the shaft??Most likely Taiwan or China import. Possibly something like a Stylecraft.

Yes, the cue was most likely made either China or Taiwan the brass joint with the pin in the shaft clearly identifies it as an Asian made cue.This belongs to a buddy of mine at work. He bought it at a yard sale decades ago and has been sitting in his attic. Weirdly enough, it seems pretty straight.

I might give $20 each for Stylcraft colored bumpers. Blue, yellow, red, brown, green, whatever. I'm just crazy.Some Brunswick cues from the early 70's had that Dufferin squirt joint and some Adams from that same period did too.
Adam was finishing cues for Brunswick who was buying parts and blanks from Dufferin and Adam had that shit laying around so they used it.
So it could be a Taiwan Brunswick, a Canadian Brunswick, a Adam frankencue. But what I'm absolutely positive of is it $20 valuation.![]()
I bid on a junk Asian cue that caught my eye. Should arrive on Wednesday, came with a junk Asian case. Both cue and case looked to be in good condition. I hope it is straightishI might give $20 each for Stylcraft colored bumpers. Blue, yellow, red, brown, green, whatever. I'm just crazy.

Probably not much. But maybe, for a conversion cue.I might just have a coupla those floating around here someplace.
I'll check and get back.
Hey, anybody know if sport craft one piece aluminum cues are worth anything as conversation pieces??
I kind of doubt it, but it never surprises me what some people are looking for.Hey, anybody know if sport craft one piece aluminum cues are worth anything as conversation pieces??
Didn't you misspell conversion?? You meant conversation pieces, right??Probably not much. But maybe, for a conversion cue.![]()
The stuff people can convince themselves of... I might be guilty of doing that a time or two myself.I kind of doubt it, but it never surprises me what some people are looking for.
35 years ago I knew a guy that shot with an old Alcoa aluminum cue. He thought he was really good too.
So we met to play. I can never forget the horrible sound that cue made.
He didn't win a rack that evening.
He still insisted aluminum cues are best.
Maybe track him down? I think he died of old age by now.
