Funny pic/gif thread...

My buddy Bryan left home for Montana almost 20 years ago now. I thought he’d get himself a mountain woman, but he’s still livin’ that bachelor life. Makes it sound as if his hardest decision is whether to take the drift boat or jet boat. I try to live vicariously through him.

He was telling me one of his favorite trips is on the Little Bighorn River called a “cast and blast” trout fishing/duck hunt. Said you’ll be fighting a fish and have to tuck the rod away, so you can pick up your shotgun. Someday I’ll make it up there.

So this isn’t too far off thread; have you ever taken a piss on the continental divide and thought that someday it would end up in the Atlantic and Pacific?

Cast and blast from a drift boat could be sporty!

A cast and blast fishing / hunting trip on the Little Big Horn would be difficult at best .
Over the bluff in the Big Horn River it's quite common , I have fished both and favor the big horn over the Little Big Horn .
I've moved from that area but still have friends down in that area I may even know or heard of your friend if he's living around the big horn river .

Is this really an early Adam? Value?

Knowing that I have a few Adam cues, a youngster at the pool hall asked me about an Adam he has.

It's rough, and needs some TLC. He put tape on the unraveling wrap. He is wondering how much it might be worth. Can anyone tell me:
- Is this truly a very early Adam? (I am dubious on his claim.)
- He says this has mother-of-pearl. Tru dat?
- What would it be worth restored?
- What would it be worth in its present condition?

I like the opposing inlay points.

Thanks, all!

Mother of pearl?

Well...I have seen many things called that...it's plastic.

I believe that is an A/H-12 Century.

I will look in my catalogs and post a picture or two.

"Very early"?

To me "very early" is brass pointed pin with aluminum shaft inserts, first year production.

Semantics aside, it's a brass pin, so "early" might apply.

Johnny Archer finally pays off Oscar Dominguez

Now that is what i expect from a pool player

I felt that the ripping off his backers part sounded much worse then if he had just made a bet with his own money, and then decided not to pay Oscar. As a combined thing, just really bad. I remember reading that he only gave Oscar like a $100 of the money, on the day that he lost. This is all just hear say though.

Cue Values

My estimate for the Southwest is $2,000 to $3,000. Worth more if refinished.
For the Palmer my guess is $600- $800.

Anyone have any better information

I think that Palmer may have been made by Adam / Helmstetter. If so, then they are not worth that much.

Pretty shocking that the SW is only worth 2-3k though. Wow, that cue is super cool.

I am glad Johnny cleared up what I believe was an air barrel. Such things can haunt you a long time, pull your karma way off center and cause a lot of bad things to happen if you are a good person. Funny thing, it doesn't impact a snake nearly as much, just anudder tuesday for them!

Anyway, glad Oscar, his children, and Johnny all have their world's spinning properly!

From what I remember reading, it was much more then just an air ball. He also took the money from his own backers, to keep for himself. So, he not only did not pay Oscar, but he kept the cash that his Backers gave him, instead of paying Oscar off with it.

Tip issue

jokers_wild96
Machine the face flat and smooth. I use 220 grit to sand the back of the tip flat. Check it against the face of the ferrule or pad. I use loctite gel super glue. Trim and shape as you normally do. Me personally I cut the tip down a bit, like a layer or two. That way if the person breaking is a bit squirrely there is less tip there that can be forced sideways if that makes sense. Less chance of it being sheared off is best I can describe it.
