Need help identifying the model of this cue

[jayz2k]

I am new to this forum so I hope I am in the right place. I recently purchased this vintage dufferin cue from an antique store but I am having a hard time figuring out the model and worth of this cue. I'd appreciate it if someone can help me out.

If you don't get an answer here try posting this in the "Canadian Pool" section. There are a few folks who know Dufferin fairly well over there.

That doesn't look like any dufferin I'm familiar with.

So I went ahead with my instincts and had the cue refinished. I replaced the tip (moori medium), ferrule (ivory), wrap (textured leather) and the rubber stopper. Here are the after pictures.

I believe it might be a Chinese knock off. They used the name "Ontario".

Wow

What ever it is I'm sure you spent More on the refinish ,The Moori, and the ivory ferrule then the cue was worth.

It's a knock-off, if it were a Dufferin it would say Dufferin under the maple leaf.

Also compare the maple leafs, they are different.

Dan - I'm glad you got a good laugh at my expense but not all of us invest in something expecting something in return. I liked the cue so I refinished it cause I can afford it and this was after someone suggested it was a reproduction cue. Not everything that's reproduced is junk right? So let's not make this personal, shall we?

You edited this into your post and removed, "guys like you would run out of business if not for guys like me." Just to be clear, if asked I'd have turned this job away, but that's a whole other can of worms. Anyway, it was never personal, please don't take it that way.

Dan - All I asked for was help in identifying the cue and it's worth. I always intended to restore it silly or not.
I edited what I said cause it was judgmental much like your comments. Anyways let by-gones be by-gones. Thanks for your insight on the cue and it's worth. I appreciate it.
