Frye? Paradise? Mayer? …Rich?

I’m interested in hearing people’s thoughts on this one.

Seller was in PA.

5/16x18.

Thanks!

I believe that's one I saw and passed up. I don't know what it is. I would love to know though.

I do not remember either Mayer or Rich cues with that butt sleeve bottom connection screw. I doubt Frye used that screw as often he had a penny under the bumper for year of make and the penny did not have a hole in it to my knowledge as this setup would require.

Is that weight bolt tapped for a small bumper screw?

Yes

The very blunt pin is interesting. Unusual perhaps.

 

[Benelli]

Yes

So I have some early 70's ADAM's (or at least the company that became ADAM) and they all have tapped weight bolts just like that.

Did Rico Cervantes use that blunt pin early on? I don’t know why it immediately popped in my head.

The butt and joint rings remind me of him but don’t seem exactly on brand for him.

I have a 1969 Rico cue, but I can't say it is representative.

I haven't examined his cues enough to say really.

I'll say maybe.
