Pool Cue

The item appears to be a pool cue, characterized by its long, slender shaft crafted from wood, finished in a rich, reddish-brown stain that exhibits a high-gloss sheen. The shaft tapers from a wider butt end to a narrower tip. At the butt end, there is a distinct grip area, distinguished by a segment of black material, possibly a textured wrapping like Irish linen or a synthetic equivalent, providing enhanced handling. Immediately above the black grip, a thin white ring or ferrule is visible, separating the grip from the main wooden shaft. Below the grip, a silver or metallic cap or butt plate is present, marking the very end of the cue. The cue appears to be a single-piece construction, given its continuous appearance, though without a full view, it's difficult to ascertain if it's a multi-piece cue joined together. The craftsmanship seems solid, indicating a potentially well-made instrument for billiards. There are no immediately apparent signs of significant damage like cracks or deep scratches on the visible portion of the shaft, suggesting it's in at least good used condition. The overall aesthetic is functional and classic for a pool cue, likely from the mid to late 20th century or possibly newer, depending on the specific materials and construction methods that are not fully observable. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the image.
