Adams or palmer identification help please.

D
Picked this old ?? Cue up yesterday for $40.00
It needs alot of work as it has apparently been left leaning against a wall in a damp basement for 30 years or so. Warped like a banana with 3" of lift in the middle...
But I got my money's worth out of it already as I broke and ran 2 racks with it last night 😆.
I did a Google search trying to get a positive ID on it but was still left wondering if it's an adams or a palmer. It has a 3/8 10 pin...So here I am looking for answers and hopefully some documentation.
I plan on breaking this cue completely down and rebuilding it. Going to be alot of work and a challenge but also alot of fun for me..
Any help with a positive ID would be greatly appreciated..

WNT Florida Open 2026, August 4-9, Orlando, Caribe Royale

Watching Albin Ouschan yesterday, I wonder what happened to him. He has not been the same since he lost to Jayson Shaw in the Hanoi Open final in 2024. The WPA-WNT spat happened shortly after, and like Filler, he reneged on his commitment to not play in WPA events. He apologized in a sincere manner, but was stung by criticism.

Since then he has been quieter and more lowkey. Shows more negative vibes, almost like he is depressed. I wonder if he even want to keep playing pro. Sometimes he seems like he wants to be doing something else. He also skips more events.

It’s too bad. He’s still young and in great shape. Just seems like all his fire is gone. With his sister, it’s the opposite.

I mean that’s not a crazy take. Shane is on the greatest players of all time, but also historically a poor performer in the MC race to 5. I’m not saying I’d make that choice, but it’s not crazy, IMO.

Frankly who is good in a race to 5? Short races favor the weaker player and are not a good indication of anything. You might as well flip a coin

I have guests coming today up here in Maine. Would it be unreasonable of me to pretend I'm sick and hide in my room so I can watch these matches? They are flying in from California...

The good news is, the matches are easy to watch now on WNT TV. Just don’t look at this site and you won’t know the score. That’s what I’ve done this week. You skip through shots and ads.

Gus Szamboti 70's

OP has an old Gus he thinks is worth twice what it is. He keeps butting up against those in the know, telling him his asking price / valuation is too high. He keeps insisting it’s not. 10 years later, he’s still got the cue, still insisting his valuation is solid. Still asking what the market looks like these days.

Check back next August for more of the same

You forgot that he's probably destroying the value of the cue with this thread.

Does playing Pool with Families or Friends mess up your real game??

So a one legged man in a butt kicking contest comes to mind. The 3 legged races is another chapter. 😉
My pitch to the young uh apprentice when, "I can't " was the reply would be, "how on earth do you manage to walk and uh no less Run?"
Can't Means Won't.
The challenge is giving a lesson in a fun manner.
With a room of 6 to 10 players of varied skills, we played Scotch Doubles 9 ball 1 and 2 on the 5 and 9. The strongest got the weakest. And so on.
One night me and the Midget won the game. 🤷‍♂️ either way it was a fun and challenging way to spend the evening after work.
