That's it. After searching a while i found one cue for sale with that logo. They must have not used it much 'cause i've seen a boatload of Dufferin's and never that logo.Trademark #73297537, filed Feb 27, 1981 by Dufferin Cue Ltd.
I think part of the logo missing, maybe it was turned down at one point. But look at the D in the trademark paperwork
.

Thanks for the info.
The cue was as new.
I should have paid more attention but don't think it was ever chalked up before I tried it.
I planned on putting a new tip on anyway so guess I wasn't as detail orientated as I could have been.
I did look it over well today.
Definitely no made in Canada or Maple leaf.
The logo I checked thoroughly and I felt no indication of it being turned down....odd I'd say but that is what I found. The wood on this is really striking.
That cue looks new...but as far as I know China didn’t use that joint when they took over.
By the early 80s, they had cut down on using the aluminum joint.....
...much more wood-to-wood types.....at my urging.
The original joint of that design was all brass...very awkward to balance.
I sold a lot of Dufferins since 1970...their house cues and sneaky petes were the best buy
in the world...IMO
If I remember it right it looked like Alex P first cue when he left the islands.
