Thank you for posting catalog pics of the one piece cues. Would you do the same for Dufferin's two-piece cues please? I am a Dufferin fan and would love to know what they offered. Thank you.

These are from a 2000 catalog.

Thank you everyone for your responses!
With the info you have all provided me, It would appear to be the Brazilian Rosewood Hi-Run cue.
And the other is Purple Heart, also Hi-run.
One thing left for me to ask...
On almost all the pictures that I've been shown most the cues show that they have "Dufferin" + a weight stamp. Why doesn't either of mine? The shafts do not appear to have been modified?
Oh, and one more thing... what kind of ferrule? Its shorter then your average bar cue.
Thanks!
Mase, thanks for uploading some pictures. I have a slightly older catalog I'll have to dig out too.
PickPocket: As far as I can recall, they started out with just a stamp for the weight, and then moved into having the logo as well as the weight. If yours came from a lot that was purchased in bulk, they may not have stamped them at all. Dufferin also offered custom engraving/burning on their Hi-Run series so you can find some with pool-hall names on them.
Mine is stamped "xxx Dufferin 20 oz".
Any idea what the xxx relates to?
Triple 'X' denotes 'second'
..they play as good as the 'firsts' but have cosmetic flaws....
...like brown marks in the wood
They were whole-saled at 25% off.
Can you post pictures of it Thaiger?
Bollox. I was hoping it'd mean extra valuable or something. :frown:
I think the problem is the ferrule, which is lose and kinda dirty, even though the cue was unused when I bought it. Actually, there is a brown knot mark in the shaft, now you mention it.
Fine sleuthing, sir!
Sure. See post #14
The ferrules are substandard...have it replaced.
And while you're at it...have the shaft re-tapered to 12 mm.
..make that a carom taper ( gradually getting smaller )
..this will make it play like an LD...but it will have more guts
When did Dufferins start getting made in China?

The house I recently bought had a cheap wood pool table and a bunch of cheaper cues, and an interesting Dufferin. It is a two piece with the signature joint. The shaft is flat laminated maple. The butt is ebony spliced into a flat laminated maple forearm. There are four 1/2" round transparent gold colored windows inset in the butt. Any idea what model or vintage ?
