Antique Brunswick #210 Hexagonal Pool Cue (c. 1915)
This is a rare and highly sought-after two-piece Brunswick #210, distinguished by its unique hexagonal construction. Dating to approximately 1915, the #210 was part of Brunswick’s innovative line of geometrically shaped cues, designed to offer a distinct feel and to prevent the cue from rolling when placed on a flat surface.
The craftsmanship is classic Brunswick excellence, featuring a four-point rosewood butt that provides a warm, rich aesthetic. This high-grade model is heavily appointed with ivory fittings, including an ivory butt cap, a two-piece ivory joint, and an ivory ferrule. At 56 3/4″ long, it remains a balanced and formidable example of early 20th-century billiard engineering.

Collector’s Note
The hexagonal series represents a fascinating era of Brunswick’s experimentation with cue ergonomics. While most cues transitioned to purely round profiles, the #210 remains a favorite among collectors for its “flats,” which provide a unique reference point for the player’s bridge and stroke hand.
