    Info on Adam cue model AA-4 - age, value

    There is a forum here for ebay sales. You can post links there. EDIT: I just went and looked. Yes, I have seen your lots for sale. If you have early Adam cues NIB, that's a whole different matter than what you have been selling. Especially if you have things like Early Rambow cues NIB...

    Info on Adam cue model AA-4 - age, value

    Cues are made "by hand" even in factories. Certain steps are more automated, but it's people that build them. Any chance we can see pictures of at least those boxes? Because of the stylized, cursive, or slightly compressed font used on vintage 1970s and 1980s Adam cue boxes and labels, the...

    Hypothetically: can a "regular" shaft be made LD?

    Yup. It can also be screwed up, like the one I got where all they did was lop off 3/4 of the ferrule and dowel. As I suggested in my previous post people can do whatever they want to their cue. My suggestion is that if it is a rare or collectible cue, with a hard to replace shaft, old...

    Hypothetically: can a "regular" shaft be made LD?

    In snooker, "chevrons" (also known as arrows) refer to the natural V-shaped growth rings visible on ash wood cue shafts. Having these chevrons facing upwards (pointing toward the tip) acts as a visual aiming aid, helps ensure your cue is completely straight, and provides consistent natural flex...

    Whats your butt weigh?

    Since the response from The Crazy Redhead was unsatisfactory, I will offer my highly experienced expert opinion. The specifications do not matter. My Joss does indeed have a balance point, diameter, and weight. All of my over 200 cues do. I have well proven over the course of many years that...

    Info on Adam cue model AA-4 - age, value

    I am not an expert either. These are the joints in the 2012-2012 Adam "Concept Book "Catalog. They have used a lot more joints than just these, yes including a SW style. The copy I have is in Asian writing, I'll see if I can get it translated later and maybe include the pin descriptions in...

    Info on Adam cue model AA-4 - age, value

    Stickers are easy. Print your own at home or order custom stickers from a variety of sources. Durt cheap. Waterslides too. Some will sell you a waterslide worth pennies for $20 if you think it's "special" because it's an old logo or nane. The forearm has the logo, probably under the...

    Info on Adam cue model AA-4 - age, value

    Cool cue. This is far from an early Adam cue. More like later China/Taiwan manufacture. There were a lot of Asian Southwest clones made like 10 to 20 years ago, very popular, this was one of them. Value is what someone will pay. You have already seen there isn't much in the way of...

    Hypothetically: can a "regular" shaft be made LD?

    I have a cue that I was after and found a number of years ago. The original owner had a genuine lizard wrap put on it. Excellent work...still haven't got around to restoring that. He also had the ferrule shortened 3/4 of an inch to "make it LD". Diameter and taper are original. It now needs a...

    Same model. But it was available in later catalogs. I have no record of the blue. I don't have all the catalogs.

    Richard Black Ned Nordin cue

    By the way, this is the refinished cue posted on Facebook by Classic Cues in 2024. Obviously the scam seller found and used pictures of the cue before the refinish. LINK

    Richard Black Ned Nordin cue

    Their pricing is always in that $6xx.xx range. I don't know how, but they must be making money, otherwise why persist. This one was interesting because that name produced nothing in web searches, but the cue isn't hard to find generally.
