I received two cues recently and the owner could not remember where he got them or who made them. There are no markings or signatures anywhere. I do know they were obtained prior to 1999. They are both very nice and built well. I'm hoping the experts out there can help me out!

Here are the links to the pics.

Cue #2

I believe both are Adam cues. The first looks like a Julio Stamboulini model 10 with four points instead of the butterfiled points

2nd cue looks to be a Balabushka (Adam version) not a real one. Model LGB-6 I believe.

These look like cues from the Adam "twin Joint " series- 1996 - the #2 cue looks like the TJ17 and the cue #1 looks like a variation on the TJ -4 cue. Piloted joints and a necked down screw with two different thread dimensions. maybe- maybe not- need to look closer at the joints

Rest assured if they are Adam cues which is very likely they are quality production cues.
Adam made a lot of very good cues in Japan.

So, thank you everyone for the input! I really appreciate it!

Cue #1 is interesting. Thx to cue fix and based on the Julio Stamboulini flyer I found online, it does looks like an JS Adam cue! It's a cross between a Julio8 (points) and Julio10 (butt design). Neither have the rings I do, but I guess that makes it just a bit more custom?!?!?! :cool:

Cue #2 is an LGB-6 replica of some sort based on some pictures I found online. It does appear to be Adam, but I can't find any reference to Adam cues making Balabushka replicas. Anyone have anything in their archive?

It baffles me that neither have the Adam logo or any identifying marks...

Thx!
