I've had it since the mid-90's, know nothing about it besides the fact that it's a Buffalo. :-)

Have you tried to search the internet? I think they were made by the Adam cue company, but I didn't do a lot of searching.
 
Looks like the Adam font to me also. Is that just a jump cue? It looks like it's missing a section.
 
:-) yes, I did search the interwebs.
Didn't find anything though. Thus me asking you guys.

It's a 58" cue. Pool cue, not snooker. 14mm tip.

Not missing a section.

Snooker cues come to mind, because it is not a 1:1 split. Snooker cues are built that way. Snooker cues also are around 58-60" long. A 14mm tip is definitely not for snooker, though.

I can only imagine that Adam try to build a pool cue with influence from snooker cues.

I googled "buffalo snooker cue" and found this

Obviously you didn't search hard enough, because I did this on my first try.

My guess is "Buffalo" is a cheap brand from the UK and your cue is a pool cue made with a 3/4 joint like a snooker cue.

We'll, i DID find a lot of buffalo snooker cues, but since that doesn't have anything to do with this cue I counted it as a failed search.

What I meant was that it haven't found any info about buffalo 3/4 pool cues from the 90-s looking like mine. :-)

Price new was 1500 dollars.

You bought a cue for $1500 that you never knew a thing about? Or did someone tell you it was $1500 new?

I bought it new in the 90's, and i paid 1500 bucks.

Pool in Sweden was non existant back then, nobody knew anything about cues. In retrospect, I probably trusted the seller a teeny tiny bit to much, but I was 23 and had a lot of dough. Seemed like the right thing to do back then. :-)

Well I found a catalog of the company. Their website is www.billiard-products.com.

I'm going to guess and say they are similar to cuestix international, with brands like Lucasi, Players, and Action.

Billiard Products has brands: Universal, Adam, Buffalo, Cuetec, Maxton, and Stinger.

Yeah found that as well. Only current production though.
Sent them an email with pics of my cue and asked if they know anything. Probably a long shot.

Thanks for helping!
 
Interesting cue. I wouldn't mind hitting some balls with a cue like that to see how it plays.

You just broke the two most sacred cue collecting rules:

Rule #1: Don't pay $1500 for a $150 cue

Rule #2": If you break rule number 1, don't admit it on AZ Billiards!
 
Rule 3: Don't lie about what you really paid for the cue

Well guys, i Am guilty of #1 and #2.

Not sure of the purpose of calling me a liar, but I'm afraid I did pay that much for the cue 20 years ago.

To put things in perspective. The only pool cues sold in the south of Sweden where we played were house cues, dufferins and for the rich, MCDermotts. :-)
In the late 90-s we got wind of Cuetec, Helmstetters, Hueblers and Prathers etc.

I'm sure the real pool players back then knew better, but we were kids still high on the Color of Money. Admittedly we knew very little about the game and the equipment.
 
Wow, interesting indeed. 14mm and built this way, I have never seen a cue like that! Buffalo brand cues are still being sold, they are made by Adam. The only pool cues I can find online are normal 50/50 split cues and are quite cheap as well. They cost around 250 bucks, and are usually conventional in design. My first cue was a Buffalo no. 1 and a buffalo jump cue. I still have the jumpcue and I wish I had kept the no.1 as well, for sentimental reasons. When I put a predator shaft on it, it played quite nice. Nothing special though.


Exactly! Same here, never ever seen anything like it. That's why I asked.
