Unknown Adam?

[Inferno]

This cue has a few of the indications of an Adam cue. I can't find it in any of the images I've seen for Adam. The rosette and butt look Adam and Adam is known to have a couple cues with a bicolor wrap.

Any input?

I think it is an Adam decal cue

Um it's ugly. Sorry if that's not helpful.

Iridescent ring makes me think Rich.

looks lo-buck chinese/taiwanese to me. ADAM's were nicer than this imo.

looks like a $50 decal cue.

 

[Inferno]

Yeah, I wish I could get a look in person

As mentioned above, it has similarities with some Rich cues. There's a thread "History of Rich Cues" that has some catalog pics. This one looks similar to a 76R or or 7T but they are not the same.

55P has some crossover looking tidbits too.

I'm not a cue aficionado so I ask this dumb question. Are Rich and Adam cues related? I see a lot of similarities.

That is an insult to the concept of ugly.

The hideous bumper isn't even close to centered.

Might just be that the bumper got ripped loose and glued on bad.
It's an old cue.

And, yeah, it's ugly.

Took a while but I found another with lighter wood, in green

You're not wrong!

This is my grandfather's cue. Have no idea who the maker is or it's value. I didn't see a serial number on the butt of the stick.

On purpose?

On purpose?

Yeah, I don't like an unsolved mystery.

I might have value in a great player ugly cue challenge. Makes me wonder what happens if someone runs 200 with it.

 

[Inferno]

I could get it for $80

I could get it for $80

Well me and the wife went through the McDonalds drive thru a couple days ago and spent $20 on 4 cheeseburgers. I can't imagine it's not worth 16 McDonalds cheeseburgers even if its ugly.

If it plays, it plays.
For $80, you can barely buy a single piece house cue.
