I'm trying to raise some money for a cue purchase from a fellow AZer. As such I have 3 cues I'm trying to sale to raise the funds. For this one I am asking $400 FIRM (includes shipping)
The first cue is one I picked up a FEW months ago on eBay. Here are the original pictures and description from the listing.
EBAY Listing Description
You are bidding on the very early Adam Custom Cue from 1970's, came from the old Japanese pool player who purchased it in 1970's. What is now named "The Adam Cue Company" was started as "Adam Custom Cue Japan ltd." in 1969 by David Forman and Richard Helmstetter. They were making custom cues for exporting to the U.S. till Mr. Helmstetter left the company in 1986. then the company changed the name as stated above, starting to make production cues up to the present. I found the same inlayed("floral shaped" mother of pearl) one in the vintage Adam cue gallery of PROFICIENT BILLIARDS' website. http://www.proficientbilliards.com/cues/Adam/index.htm so check this out. I was told that it's possibly a proto-type of the early Adam, made of titlist blank, but I'm not sure. This cue just has very similar points to Brunswick Titlist William Hoppe cue. (Purple, green, brown, and natural veneers, and possibly rosewood centers on maple forearm.) Wrap is two tone, white&green thread with 2 parts of black nylon thread. Some mother of pearl inlays on the buttsleeve. The cue bumper seems to be made of a compressed leather. The joint is unique, a long pin on the shaft side. There are some small dents or dings mostly on the buttsleeve you see on the photos. It seems like there is some tiny wood chips in the threaded hole for the weight inside of the butt, so you can hear the faint sound of it when the butt is shaken. I just don't know how to get off this leather bumper cap so leave it as is. (It's so faint, never bothered me while playing.) The butt rolls straight. The shaft has a little roll. This old shaft is a pretty STIFF and I really really love the way it plays!!!!! Weight: approx 18oz. Shaft: approx 12mm.
