other similiar cues
.Here are some similiar cues from a past online auction house auction. Note 3 different joint pin types for 3 cues from the same era. One plain cut aluminum screw like mine in the second joint from the top, which is the carved butt cue. The bottom two pins are from the ebony cues. These cues were in poor condition, cracked joints and nameplates, sold from 1200-1400.Only specified as being near the turn of the 20th century, didn't say which side of it
Pulled out the Billiards encyclopedia and there are several pages about Brunswick cues made prior to their putting any markings on them or logos.Unless somebody has something concrete to add, this cue falls somewhere between 1890-1910, American made by Brunswick.
12/28/12 These cues were made at the time that joint screws were moving to the butt end from the shaft. Here is another cue like mine with the pin in the butt, the only other I have found this way. This pin was made this way, not moved at a later time as suggested by other posters.
The cue plays fine, the joint is solid, tightens up for the last several turns like big pin cues do. It is amazingly straight for a cue of any age. I will post specs on the cue tomorrow.
