Here are a couple more cues that came with a table I purchased. I have no idea what they are, although one has what might be the remnants of an Adam logo. I'd like to have an idea of value before I put them up for sale. The cue with the grooves has a very stiff shaft; Viagra stiff. The one with the worn logo has a slight lift below the joint, but rolls straight when together. Both are 57-inch cues.

1st cue appears to be an Adam with the lion having taken a beating....


2nd cue looks like an Abe Rich....

edit... But Looking at it again it looks to be fully piloted I didn't notice the brass on the end of the shaft... Tony Crosby had some pics of some cues that were supposedly incomplete paradise cues.. I seem to recall something similar in the pics he sent me....

Be a difference in worth for sure depending on the maker....

Love the wood in what looks like an Adam. I thought the other might be a Rich cue ... but I'm not sure. The staff is STIFF. The MOP ring is much prettier than the picture shows.

First is an Adams for sure. Second I think may just be old Brunswick. Not sure, but that is my guess.
 
The second cue, although it looks a lot like a Rich cue, is Master branded cue I believe.

I may be able to come up with a history of the brand this evening. I'll see what I can do. Maybe somebody else knows.

Several have sold as Rich cues but were misidentified. It is possible that Rich made them, but I don't know the history. The Rich family made several brands of cue.

I am not 100% on that, but it is what I believe at the moment. Maybe somebody else knows better.

I would guess it would be worth about the same as any typical Rich merry widow.

Thanks, Doc. I'm looking forward to reading your findings.

PM sent.

I didn't come up with anything more. I thought I had something like that in an old catalog but I don't.
