PS: Brunswick’s records were destroyed by natural disasters in the early 90’s, so, unfortunately, there are no records from this interesting time period for B’wick cues. This cue features a solid brass ferrule and 9.5 to 10 mm nominal Blue Chrome Leather tip. For 'push on extensions' to fit this cue please view the 'related products' section of this page. He also patented an internal pool cue weight and balance method. It had the screw in the butt and a brass insert with wood pilot tenon similar to the stainless steel jointed cues we see today. Rambow is given credit with inventing the piloted joint. The butt is finished with a brass Cannon disc and a protective leather butt pad. Rambow built cues all the way up to his passing away in 1967. The cue shown in Beetle’s post is a Taiwanese import – unbranded – from, most likely, the mid-70’s. The brass 'Cannon' joint is fitted in the centre of the cue. Dufferin also manufactured cues for Brunswick during this period and these, too, were marked with the “B” under Lucite. The Ash shaft is finished with a 1/2' brass ferrule and an Elk Master leather tip. However, the pilot on the Dufferin joint is before the threads and on the Taiwanese cues it is at the base of the threads. Made from the oiled Ash and Morado, the Dot Ash is our most economical two-piece cue and features a traditional brass joint, that is both sturdy and durable. This classically-styled Lucasi Custom cue features an antique-stained Super Birdseye Maple forearm and Cocobolo butt with. The joint shown in Jelly Bean’s responding post is a Dufferin joint. Cocobolo forearm Brass rings G-Core shaft 3/8'-10 joint 6 sets of black urethane, white urethane, green lizard & cocobolo handle inlays Birdseye maple no-wrap handle. To expand on that a little, not all Brunswick cues so marked were Taiwanese.

Yes, some Brunswick cues from that period used this joint, but those cues were clearly marked as Brunswick’s via the “B” in the Lucite circle.

Pool tables with ivory pool balls instead of Hyatt are 50 extra to the prices below: Carom, 4×8, 275. They were brass with an integral pilot on the pin, which was located on the shaft. It is a high class piece of cabinet work and we recommend it for fine private parlors. The photo in Beetle’s original post shows a typical joint used on Taiwanese import cues from the mid-70’s to early 80’s.
