Amazing collection on Ebay

B
Hello, everyone.
I’m Billardcollec on eBay, and my website is billard-collection.fr.
I’ve been selling inlaid / marquetry cues for almost 20 years.
I’m writing to let you know that I’m the one who sold this cue to the person who’s trying to sell it on eBay.com…
When I came across the listing, I nearly fell out of my chair !
And I thought to myself, why didn’t I try something like that ?
Quite simply because in France, even the largest collector of “Napoleon” items wouldn’t spend more than $10000.
In France, another billiard cue that belonged to Napoleon first was sold at auction for 8000 euros.
We'll have to wait and see what happens next; as of today, the listing price has gone up to $635000...

Please note the bumper.

You cue does not have the "pill" bumper. It is likely from the later series of the same cue that is in a later catalog. Later 1970's I believe.

Thanks again, Chopdoc! That’s a great observation. I hadn’t noticed the bumper difference. I really appreciate the additional clarification—that makes perfect sense and helps narrow down the production period even further.

Vintage Adam Cue Identification – Looking for Model, Year & Catalog Match

I recently picked up this vintage cue and believe it to be an older Adam based on its construction and styling. Another member (thanks, Chopdoc!) suggested I post it here, as there are several members who may be able to help identify the exact model and production years.

I’d appreciate any information regarding the model designation, approximate year of manufacture, or a catalog reference if anyone recognizes it.

Specifications:

• Overall Length: 58”
• Weight: 17.0 oz
• Ferrule: 11.7 mm
• Oversized brass piloted joint with coarse-thread pin
• White/black Irish linen wrap
• Original matching shaft and ring pattern

I’ve attached several detailed photos of the cue, joint, butt sleeve, and overall construction.

Thanks in advance for any information you can share!

are they all sample totempoles or did they actually look like that?

other than huebler and joss, were there any production cues in the 1970's that weren't hideous?

Are you serious?

Have you heard of Richard Helmstetter?

What style of cue do you like?

I might dig up a picture or two for you. Maybe. :unsure: 🤪
