Let’s see those vintage Adam cues

I came across this one this morning and grabbed some quick pictures.

Sorry for nasty pictures on the floor. Probably a hair or two in there. 🤪 :oops:

I am not yet set up for taking cue pictures and just grabbed some shots while having my morning coffee.

Adam CB-25 from the Adam Superstar Lineup. Used, but like new condition except for some chalk staining on the ferrule which I have not cleaned. Personally, I think it is the nicest cue in the line. I am a fool for dashed rings. The only thing I would criticize in the design is the lack of a matching ring at the A joint, which I would really love on this cue. To me, it is simply missing.

Interesting that the butt sleeve windows (windows?) are actually done as rings with inlaid dots, while the matching forearm windows are inlays with dots. Same aesthetic achieved 2 different ways. Probably easier/quicker/cheaper, less labor intensive, to do the butt sleeve that way rather than inlays, I guess.


These are among the cues/cases I lost records about. I don't remember where or when I got it. I also don't remember where and when I got the Fellini. Is that what is called "buggy whip" leather? I'll be storing a different cue in this case, and have a nice 1x1 for this cue.

Is that a finish over the wrap? I don't recall Adam usually doing that. Very nice cue.

Who is this cool dude

Mr Lunda Sr. (Travelling with Evan Lunda)
(Not sure he is ready to jump into action but he will watch the cue of his son.)
Well, I guess the mystery’s over. He has a name, a hometown, probably even a Facebook account.But it was more fun when he was Slick Rick… the guy who maybe beat Mosconi in a back alley in ’68, ran five racks with a cigarette in one hand and a bourbon in the other, and vanished before the Calcutta even started.

I’m sure Mr. Lunda Sr is very proud of his son!
