Looking for this one of a kind cue previously owned by AZBer Hunter (Steve).


Im posting this here, in tandem with a post in the Wanted/For Sale board, in order to try to reach the broadest group possible, so that I can increase my likeliness of finding this cue.



This cue was never successfully identified. However, I have been fond of the cues aesthetics since I first viewed photos of it.
Hunter stated that he sold the cue approximately 2 years ago to a gentleman named Bob in New Jersey.

If anyone knows of the current owner of this cue or has seen it more recently than 2012, please PM me with details and contact information.

Or...

Please point the owner towards this thread.

Just as a comment I would say the screw is stuck in the shaft and should be in the butt

I've had some old cues with the screw in the shaft....one was a 1918 Brunswick.
....this one seems modern, though.
 
Thanks for the insight...

Macguy,

Thanks for the input. We all (members who have previously tried to ID it) have had similar thoughts, especially considering the face of the pin is flat rather than chamfered/tapered/beveled.

However...

In another photo that shows the joint better, the inside of the joint on the butt side is actually metal with a high quality machined thread (not like the poorer quality cast parts seen in import cues) rather than a brass sleeve that is fit on to a tenon with standard pin in butt style cues.
 
Joint clarification.

Guys, here is what I was referencing about the pin in shaft appearing to be intentional.

The photos are blurry, but if you look closely you will see that the shaft does not have an insert that the pin is threaded into or stuck in. Instead it is direct into the shaft wood...as if it was probably glued in place.

Do you know of any maker that uses a 5/16" pin straight into wood without an insert for it to thread into? I don't.



 
It looks to me the pin is glued into the shaft , and joins to the handle via the thread in the brass joint collar.
I glue the pin to the wood of the handle of the J100 cues I make, and it then threads into an ali collar on the back of the shaft.

Burton Spain did, but not with the pilot, that I've seen. Jack

So, back to the true matter at hand...

...has anyone actually seen this cue before in person, or in photos other than the ones I've posted?

I'd really like to know where this cue is!
