ID "Orchid USA" Pool Cue Model and Year
Can someone help me identify the maker and possibly the year and model of this pool cue?
The logo on the pool cue says "Orchid USA".

This pool cue's brand is "Orchid".
Despite the logo having "USA", it would have been made overseas and imported.
It's a basic design (based on what I can see of the cue). Assuming that the forearm has no points or other detail, I can tell you that it's from a basic Orchid cue line. All cues in that line had the same exact design, with each model in the line having a different stain color.
Starting from the bumper and working upward:
- Plain black rubber bumper
- White phenolic resin butt cap with the "Orchid USA" logo
- Thin black phenolic resin ring
- Plain wood butt sleeve
- Low-end linen wrap (optional)
- Plain wood forearm
- Thick black phenolic resin ring separates the forearm from the joint collar
- Joint collar made from either stainless steel or white phenolic resin
- Stainless steel joint pin
- Repeating joint patter on shaft
Here are a few other examples of similar Orchid cue models, all sold for well under $100.
