Antique Brunswick “Hub” Pool Cue

This sophisticated three-piece model is a prime example of the innovative engineering and high-end materials used by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. measuring a substantial 56 3/4 inches. The “Hub” design was specifically engineered for portability and precision, making it a sought-after piece for the traveling professional or serious amateur of the early 20th century.

Technical Specifications & Features

The cue’s construction highlights a transition toward the modern “professional” aesthetic while maintaining the traditional luxury materials of the era.

  • Four-Point Splice: The forearm features a classic four-point splice, providing the structural integrity and forward-weighted balance necessary for consistent play.

  • Double Ivory Joints: As a three-piece cue, it utilizes two precision-machined ivory joints. This setup was favored for its unique feedback and the seamless energy transfer it provided through the length of the cue.

  • Linen Wrap: Unlike many of the all-wood butts of this period, this model features a linen wrap, offering a superior grip and moisture absorption for the player.

  • Ivory Butt Cap & Ferrule: The cue is elegantly finished with an ivory butt cap and a matching ivory ferrule, ensuring a cohesive and high-tier appearance from top to bottom.
