What are these cues?

Hi Folks,

A gentleman walked into our pool room today. He offered to sell several vintage cues that he purchased in an estate sale. Can someone explain to me what a Brunswick - Balke - Collander cue is? This may not be the correct forum for the question but any information would be appreciated.

Lyn, you would have to post some photo's of the cues for anyone to be able to help you with identifying them.

The term Brunswick - Balk - Colander refers to Cues that were made by Brunswick prior to 1960. Sometime after 1960 they Changed their logo to just plain Brunswick, and then after 1970 they went to (B) in a clear window or in type print which identifies those made in China. Then from the late 1980's to date the cues have been made Joss, Dufferin, and many other companies with the simple Brunswick Logo.
