Antique Brunswick Hexagonal Billiard Cue
This original one-piece Brunswick cue is a remarkable example of early 20th-century geometry and design. Moving away from the traditional round profile, this model features a hexagonal shaped butt, a specialized architectural form that provided players with a distinct grip and ensured the cue would not roll when placed on a flat surface.
Construction & Artistry
Ebony Hexagonal Butt: The butt is crafted from solid ebony and precision-cut into a six-sided hexagonal profile. It features a classic four-point design, seamlessly integrated into the faceted shape of the wood.
Linen Wrap: Unlike many cues of this era that relied solely on polished wood, this specimen includes a linen wrap, providing a textured grip and a professional aesthetic.
Premium Appointments: * Butt Cap: Finished with a substantial ivory butt cap, providing a clean, high-contrast end to the dark ebony.
Ferrule: Equipped with an original ivory ferrule.
Dimensions: Measures a standard 57″ in length.
Collector’s Note
The hexagonal Brunswick cue is a highly sought-after variation for collectors of unique billiard forms. Its combination of the rare faceted butt, premium ebony, and ivory appointments makes it a standout museum-quality piece for any serious collection.
