They are shafts:).

The brass ferules would indicate an English style cue - so, in a way, they are both.
English Billiards is played on the same table as Snooker - using the same sized balls.

I would guess snooker from the brass ferrules, small tip diameter, and no pin in shaft, but aren't snooker cues usually longer?

You would think so, because the tables are bigger. English snooker cues are usually about 57". Mine is 57 1/4" long with a 9mm tip & brass ferrule. Snooker balls are 2 1/8" diameter, as apposed to pool bals that are 2 1/4"...JER
 
Do you have a way of measuring the ferrule or place a ruler beside it for reference. To me they look larger than a normal snooker cue.
 
Sorry, here are the specs from the for sale thread

The majority of snooker shafts,have the pin in the shaft.
They look like snooker shafts made for a pool cue.
It could be that it was made in USA for snooker and breaks in half to match most US cases.
Small tip cues play very well on the larger US sized ball.
At 10.5 and 10.35 they are on the larger scale for snooker.
I use a 10 mm tip and like it very much.
