Antique Brunswick Carved Butt “Titlist” Billiard Cue
This is a spectacular example of the “Titlist” era, a name synonymous with the gold standard of pool cue construction. Measuring a full 57 inches, this two-piece cue combines the iconic Brunswick veneer work with rare, ornate carving, making it a high-tier collector’s piece.
Master Craftsmanship & Ornamentation
What sets this cue apart is the fusion of the classic Titlist points with custom decorative elements rarely seen in standard production models.
Four-Point Carved Butt: Unlike smooth-tapered cues, this features a carved butt section that provides a unique tactile feel and a highly distinguished “Victorian-era” aesthetic.
Colored Titlist Points: The legendary four-point “Titlist” splice, known for its structural strength and vibrant colored veneers, is the centerpiece of the forearm.
Mother of Pearl (MOP) Inset Wedge: A luxurious decorative wedge featuring personalized initials, framed by intricate colored veneers that mirror the complexity of the points.
Ivory Joint & Ferrule: As expected of a premium Brunswick of this vintage, it utilizes an ivory joint for a soft, responsive hit and a matching ivory ferrule for traditional tip support.
Collector’s Note: The “Titlist” blanks produced by Brunswick were so well-regarded for their balance and density that many legendary custom cue makers (like Herman Rambow) used them as the foundation for their own custom builds.
