that cue was originally part of the 8 cue willie mosconi collection and then after some time labeled as bu-1. Idk why as lou butera tributes where lb-1 through 4. Early 2000s around 2003-2007

This cue was part of the mosconi collection from competition sports aka Adam ny.

This is the only vintage series I know of and it's not part of it..

Adam cs-435 from early 2000's

That's an Adam Cs-435, sold by competition sports in early 2000's
