Unknown (vintage?) cue

[ideologist]

The pool table cloth lining the case looks brand new cut from end grain of the bolt, most likely off the end of a table recover drop pieces..

I put that in there, good eye

Is it common to use a metal insert to secure the butt cap and weight bolt?

"TANG", featured on George B cues that I've seen (although not like the style depicted here)

Early "TASC'S" also

Not at all though it's really not a bad idea. I've begun using 5/16-18 for weight bolts on a few cues and just tapping them for the allen screw myself. The insert wouldn't be a bad option in some of the softer woods

vintage cue

I saw this being built in the harris cue company shop a few years ago. it seems all your guesses are wrong. visiting panama city on vacation from Arkansas and rob stated he was making some really old style cues, down to the Delrin and 5-16-14 which he almost never used. hope this helps.

old school , but a modern cue because of the jointpin and the well cored butt .
sanded down for refinish .
the wrap dont look like cortland or penn .
rauenzahn bushka copy , my guess .
very nice cue

For one post, your Tasmanian Devil avatar is quite erudite.

However, can you tell us why you think this is a Harris cue?

All the best,

You saw this cue being built a few years ago?...

Wow....Well if that's true, I guess "rob" should, at minimum, re-evaluate his finishing skills.....
