I have just recently started playing pool. Bought myself a new cue but that's not what this is about. Asked my dad to come play with me and suggested that he could use one of the old cues we have at work. Instead he told me that he had a cue in the attic and would get it out. I think the cue is a Peradon cue. More specifically Peradon and Fletcher maybe? But was curious to know exactly what cue it is and when it was made. He thinks it must be around 35 years old. The metal join seemed to be different to other cues that I have seen with a centre joint. I don't think the cue is anything special. Machine spliced by the looks of it but still curious. Any suggestions?

Sorry can not find at the mo the cue model
I've looked and looked and I can't find any cues that look the same or with the same centre join. It's usually wooden, brass or some sort of ivory/plastic type material. Plus there's usually some sort of badge not just the logo at the bottom. Perhaps because it was a more budget option.
Thanks for the efforts anyway

The logo has changed slightly since the 80s when he bought it though. Less lines beneath the crown part. Also thought it was unusual for it to not just say peradon anywhere on it. Though I think it was Peradon and Fletcher at that time?

I'm not an expert on this but I remember a friend had a cue with a joint like this when I was a kid, Dufferin was a Canadian company that made snooker and pool cues used to have superior quality joints and UK snooker brands started to experiment/use them when the two piece cues became popular from early eighties. I think this may have been what Kirk Stevens and Thorburn used. Riley had connections with the Dufferin brand too.
looking at your Dad's cue, I wouldn't be surprised if it was made by Dufferin and imported by Peradon, as they licensed Dufferin to make this Joe Davis cue which also has the circular disk on the flat and same joint.
