Looks very much like one of those cues that sold in sporting good stores Sears Walmart.

I was hoping it was something special with all the inlays in it. Thanks

Could it be the missing short wrap Balabuska?
Legend has it that George was running out of linen.

It is an early Adam. Which model, I don’t know. Jayman will be the one to ID it.

It's so early it could be the "Eve" model.

Those are Adam points and typical Adam features.

80's Taiwan import.

A 57" '80's import? I'd believe it if it was early '70's. Thanks!

The wrap is short! A 57" Adam has an 11 3/4 wrap,while this cues wrap is only about 7 1/4. Ijdk.

Used to go on the billiards supplies years ago and they had racks full of cheap imports like that. The picture of the butt without the bumper you can see the drive mark you always found on those cues.

The gear type inlays are just set in a hole with black filler. There is little to suggest the nice quality of the early Adams cues. Some were works of art. I would like to see the shaft.

This is an adams
