Adam(?) cue identification

[Psefisato616]

Hi guys.
I was curious if anyone here could shed some light on this snooker cue? I presume it's an Adam cue because of the logo, but I can't find any others with mother of pearl inlays or the same butt logo design, so would appreciate any help from any of you fine individuals!
Thanks!

how long is it? It looks like a snooker cue.

yes. only snooker cues use that flat-sided butt afaik.

Someone could have converted a one-piece snooker cue to a two piece one so it's half Adam and half Eve built.

It's 58", and it is a snooker cue. About 17 or 18oz I think, by feel anyway.

It was a family friends cue I got over 20 years ago. He got it at some point in the 70's I think. It's definitely a full Adam.

Yeah, I‘m thinking 70s…they weren’t using that joint in the 80s.
I‘ve always passed on those mop inlays at either end of the points…it usually is to cover up mistakes.
And I hate the flat spot (chamfer) on the butt….it’s a hangover from before mechanical bridges were invented….
….you hit the cue ball with the butt end when you couldn’t reach it….I don’t like it because it encourages you to hold
the cue a certain way…maybe not how it hits best.

Have you unscrewed that "inlay"?

Nope. I never really thought about doing it. Do Adam cues not have screwed down flat 'inlays'?

I didn't know that about the mop inlays. I just thought it was a design choice to match the mother of pearl inlays on the butt... They do look like mother of pearl too though so could be either/or.
I'm more of a pool player but recently dug this cue out for a bit of snooker. Haven't played in well over a decade so not too fussed about where I hold the cue... Yet!
