Cue Identification Help

Butt cap area looks like an older Brunswick to me, someone added a wrap to that old house cue at one time and maybe that joint configuration as well?
I did some research - this is a Brunswick copy cue from what I see - there was a company copying Brunswick Palmer Adam cues back in the 70s - I believe that this is one of their cues from the joint pin style

Thank you for that, I appreciate it. Do you remember the name of the copycat company, were they Taiwan or China based?
Most likely Taiwan. I don't think the US allowed Chinese stuff til '79.
I do not know the company name - I would agree with Taiwan based

Nixon was an enabler...
Here is the same joint pin from the possibly Taiwan company from the 70s/80s- this was a Palmer copy cue that they made back then.

Thank you!!!
I know another member on here bought that cue from the seller on eBay so I'll make sure they see this!
I have a 1-679J thats green, cool cue. Thanks for sharing that ad
I've also the cue in that is in the middle of the picture, with out the wrap on ebay. Same joint pin and gold color plug, to hold the bumper.
The aluminum pin in the bottom comes out & the screw to hold the bumper on is underneath.
Nixon took the U.S off the gold standard and opened up trade with China. I would like an opportunity to kick him in the balls or drain his jar.
I thought the gold standard thing was Wilson. I know Nixon made healthcare for-profit though.
On April 5, 1933, Roosevelt ordered all gold coins and gold certificates in denominations of more than $100 turned in for other money. It required all persons to deliver all gold coin, gold bullion and gold certificates owned by them to the Federal Reserve by May 1 for the set price of $20.67 per ounce. By May 10, the government had taken in $300 million of gold coin and $470 million of gold certificates. Two months later, a joint resolution of Congress abrogated the gold clauses in many public and private obligations that required the debtor to repay the creditor in gold dollars of the same weight and fineness as those borrowed. In 1934, the government price of gold was increased to $35 per ounce, effectively increasing the gold on the Federal Reserve’s balance sheets by 69 percent. This increase in assets allowed the Federal Reserve to further inflate the money supply.
The government held the $35 per ounce price until August 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon announced that the United States would no longer convert dollars to gold at a fixed value, thus completely abandoning the gold standard. In 1974, President Gerald Ford signed legislation that permitted Americans again to own gold bullion.

FDR suspends the gold standard for U.S. currency | April 20, 1933 | HISTORY
The United States goes off the gold standard, a monetary system in which currency is backed by gold, when Congress en...
Our government quickly addicted itself to printing money with no actual tangible value. So if you had ten dollars in the economy and they print ten more, now they have reduced the buying power of ten dollars to what you could buy with only five previously. "Inflation" / devaluing our currency.
AKA printing toilet paper.
By the way, Valley must have sold a lot of those cues back then because I still see quite a few of floating around eBay as "manufacturer unknown"

Ah, Wilson just created the "Federal" Reserve. It seems many politicians wanted to control currency and the public enough to break the system.
Now they want to double the IRS, monitor all transactions, and convert it all to 100% government -controlled digital currency.
Yay freedom...
ETA sorry for the hijack
