WTF Did I Just Buy? Need Help With Old Cue ID!

[Hunter]

Hi all,

Well, I hope everyone had a great holiday season!

I just bought this cue and have absolutely no idea who it was made by. It appears to have a lot of features that you would see on old cues, but the features look like they were a compilation of several makers. I don't have it yet, but it seems to be a well made cue. Appears to be at least 40-50 years old...

The cue initially seemed to be a Doc Fry, as I had a Fry that had kind of the same ringwork in the butt (just not nearly as much as this cue). The joint seems to be reminiscent of Harvey Martin or a 1913 Brunswick with the pin in the shaft. The little round bumper looks like an early Viking. The red ring at the very end of the buttcap looks like Fedunka, Paradise, or George Gay. The wrap is twine and still tightly wound and in great shape.

Any guesses? Your input is greatly appreciated!

I don't know who built the cue, but I think the joint pin came out of the butt and is just stuck in the shaft.

.........but I think the joint pin came out of the butt and is just stuck in the shaft.

i don't think so......i'm not sure who made this either but the shaft is probably supposed to have the pin in it.........i could be wrong but i doubt it....
