Antique Double Butterfly Cue
This cue has a brass pointed 5/16x14 pin, tortoise shell joint collar and shaft ring. Ivory ferrule, and ivory name plate. I have no idea yet what this cue is as far as maker.
What is really unusual is that the shaft has a black phenolic threaded insert instead of brass.

Is this your cue? If so, do you feel any difference in how it plays, vs. a shaft insert made from a stronger material like brass or stainless steel?
Chopdoc on 8/18/2018 1:50:08 PMNothing wrong with such an insert. Modern cues sometimes use it.
In fact modern Joss cues use a black phenolic insert.
It feels fine. The cue plays remarkably well actually.
