Un-Named Pool Cue with No Logos or Markings
Can anyone identify this nameless pool cue with no logo? I've been over it with a magnifying glass multiple times and there are no marks of any kind.
The person that I bought it from said it was a McDermott, but I contacted them and they have said that it isn't theirs. They said it looks like it could be a Lucasi cue stick but that has been another dead end.

They are saying Lucasi because the style of rings in your cue is similar to those commonly put in Lucasi cues. But if it was a Lucasi, then 99% chance it would have a Lucasi logo on the cue somewhere, as the majority of their cues do.
Is there a uni-loc joint on that cue? Pictures are blurry/fuzzy so it is hard to tell.
Based on what I can see from the photos, I would say it's a cheap import cue, probably from HONG-Jie Billiards (Taishan Hongjie Billiards Products Manufacturing Factory) or a similar producer. You can find them by the hundreds on sites like Alibaba. To give you an idea about the quality, Hongjie supplies these cues wholesale for between $2 and $10 USD per cue.
That joint type isn't common among North American pool cue manufacturers (as far as I know) but it is common among Chinese manufacturers. Also, I see that Hongjie does offer it as an option.
Unfortunately I have not been able to locate the exact model. If I come across anything, I will update you. Please also let me know if you find any more information or if you identify it before I can.

Thank you. I'm thinking you are right about it being a cheap knock off pool cue. I'm assuming that if it wasn't, the inlays would not be painted on.

Yes that would be a dead give-away. Usually they are done by water-decals which usually have a finished look that most would think was either paint or ink.
Either way, I'd say it's safe to assume it's a cheap import.
