This is not an exhaustive list of all the cues that were made on behalf of a variety of companies by Peradon, but gives you the idea.
Many people believe that their cues were made by a small company in their local town. Often the fact is that it was made by the ubiquitous Peradon Limited.
Personally I think that this facet of collecting makes the hobby all the more interesting.
