Help ID Dufferin Conversion

[PhilosopherKing]

The thin collars make me think Pettit or Padgett, but really it could be anyone.

I’m going to rule out hobbyist, based on the quality.

The only other features of distinction are a square-drive bumper screw, and maybe the black pad. (I know Dufferin was using the square-drive screws.)

I think this might have the best feel and hit of any cue I’ve ever owned. Taper seems very distinct, which makes me again think Pettit.

Older Jim Pierce?

Thanks

I have the same cue though with black collars. I bought mine from a fellow who recalled buying it in Florida at a pool called the Golden Horseshoe or something along those lines in 1994, give or take a year or two. He also purchased a Pete Ohman sneaky at the same time. I spoke with Dennis Searing and emailed him pics, though he said he didn’t think it was his. He said he would need to see it in person. Mine has a 1 1/4” ivory ferrule. It is a great playing cue, though quite thick for most people. It definitely fills the hand.

Interesting. Thanks. I believe it is the same maker. Mine came out of Alabama from someone who knew nothing about it.

I'm pretty sure it's one of mine. I have used that square head bumper screw for many years

Robertson screws are nice. I don't think I've seen the head of one strip out yet.
