Help with thoughts about an unknown pool cue?

I am sure there is nothing special about this cue, but it does look cool, and interesting to me.

The case looks interesting too, even though I do not think that it was made for Pool cues, lol.

This is the only pic I have of it.

Maybe a 70's era Adam cue? I do not know.

Thanks for any thoughts.

It could be anything as they were sold by various brands. Adam , Mizerak, cobra, just to name a few. The joint area may be different with each brand, so if is not marked , the joint might hold the key

Thanks for your reply. Can you tell from the pic if it is a cue of any value? Decent quality? Thanks.
 
Adam.
The short butt cap gives it away as not Cobra, Mizerak, Etc.
I believe it's A/H-1 but I would have to check.
Even if Adam, probably not worth restoring unless you are learning and want to do it yourself. Still not worth it except good practice I guess.

Edit:
I just went and checked, it is an Adam A/H-1.
 
You can see the butt cap on the KaoKao cues is much longer. This is a Model 502 Prairie Rattler.

Also notice the sheen on the butt rings is metallic on the Adam, on the cheaper cue they are plastic.

Lastly, not shown here, the KaoKao cues have a thin maple ring in the black joint ring while the Adam has a plain black joint ring. I have pictures of that difference as well.

EDIT: I also noticed the comparatively large pilot in the OP picture. That is consistent with Adam, the KaoKao cues have a comparatively tiny pilot, almost not at all.

By the way, it's most likely a fishing rod case.

Do you think early 70's era Adam? I know back then, Adam cues just used Stickers, for the logo.
