Info on vintage Dufferin 2 piece cue

[daniel]

Any idea what years the green logo was used. I've never had one with this 5/16 14"flat faced . I was thinkin about converting to 3/8 10 but th I s cue with this joint hits the ball as good as any cue ive had & I've had hundreds of cues over the years . Think I'll just put some collars & maybe hoppe ring & keep the same joint. Was there many made with this pin as opposed to the glider joint?

I don't recall what year but the joint set up is

I'm not sure what year that would be but there's alot for sale on Ebay and inexpensive. Some have the same pin and some with the aluminum joint. I have an old Sneaky Pete with the same joint and had a collar added and the shaft taken down to 11.5 mm . It's 17oz and I use it as my break cue and can play with it if need be.

daniel, Howdy;

I have one with the Red Maple leaf, 17oz., with the aluminum joint. Mine came with
an 11.5 tipped shaft. Had a shaft made for it with a micarta ferrule and a Talisman
break tip that's 13mm. Still have the 11.5 shaft. Might use it to start some 3C learning.

i still have 2 left that have great butts. another one i had made into a conversion with a 5/16 pin and brass joint. came out great and hits great.
this way i can use all my other shafts on it as well.

I believe that both red and green leaf logos were used for many years, it has no significance.

Dufferin Phantom sneaky pete cues (what you show) always had the pin in the shaft, it was/is their standard configuration. Here is a photo from one a few years back, note the pin in the shaft here too.

I have a Dufferin Phantom for sale. Great figure in the wood. Looks like a curly maple shaft. Newly refinished shaft with a new melamine ferrule and water buffalo tip. Has a couple of dents in the butt. There is a small taper roll in the shaft...

Can’t be later than 2004 but likely much older. Maybe 1980s or 90s.
