Help With Cue ID wanted...

[jnkmeister]

Greetings all,

Hope everyone had a great 4th! I am new to azbilliards & could not find a specific 'cue identification" category, so hope ok to post this. Would hope someone could provide me with maker, model and maybe potential value. I could only attach 10 pics, so most of nicer cue at right. I came into these cues at a garage sale the other day and none have makers names on them. From left to right, the first and second cues may be nothing special, the the third cue is what has me most curious. It is a excellent quality and the feel/workmanship and design have a vintage Palmer kinda vibe, but pretty sure not a Palmer. The 4 veneer points are very straight and sharp and all dot and snowflake pearly inlays are clean and even. They are much "pearlier" than what appears in my pics. It's obviously missing a wrap, but have a great cuemaker (Sheldon Cue) in my area that I will install a nice linen wrap on it if has sufficient value. It's very straight & has a super nice pro taper to the shaft. The shaft maple also has a really pretty grain to it also. Any help would be greatly appreciated

70's-80's Taiwan cues. One on the right MIGHT be an ADAM

Thanks for the feedback & interest, but I would prefer to wait on a positive ID for at least the cue on the right before offering for sale.

Thanks, was pretty sure the 1st 2 cues might fall into that category. I'll do some poking around online to see if I can find an Adam that matches mine.

Problem on the right cue is that joint and that ring work. Can't remember ADAM using it. Still think all three are Taiwan imports.

Thanks again for the suggestion and it is in fact an Adam (looked at a lot of images before I slopped into it). In fact, the photo I found it in was posted by another member in 2007 looking for vintage Adam cues. I copied the link & it is the one at far right. Given how catalog photo's typically show cues from left to right with the first one at left being the least expensive, it looks like my cue was possibly the top of the line for it's series. after reading all of the text, it looks like the cues in the photo's are repro's that Adam made at some point. Mine is definitely vintage and original.
