Help with thoughts about an unknown / unmarked pool cue? Possibly an Adam?

Edit: I just remembered that the joint pin of early 70's Adam cue is completely different, so I do not think this is an Adam, unless it is a Helmstetter, and it was refinished, which would have removed the signature.

I am curious if anyone here might know this cue?

I am thinking that it might be an old Adam. I understand that Adam did not engrave their logo back in the early 70's, so I thought it might be an early 70's Adam cue.

I understand that it might be some other type of Cheap Asian import too. I am such a fool about this stuff, lol. I always thought that Adam cues were fairly good quality though. The Japanese made ones.

Thanks for any thoughts about the cue.

I just love the look of full splice cues like this.

Yeah has the post modern circleage - representing the stars maybe. The bumper is also Adam ish. Original Adam would be marked I think. Maybe a sneaky of the day.

Thanks for your reply. Off topic, but I do not believe that the earliest Adam cues were marked. Early 70's era Adam cues. They only came with an Adam Sticker, where the Adam logo would be, from what I have seen. The A/H 2 Americana for example did not have an engraved logo, I do not think.

So, does this cue look like garbage, or what? I would not be able to tell the difference, lol.

I am so broke, that I would hate to have to waste $150 on a cue, if it is worthless, lol.

I just want a good quality player. Love old cues though.

Thanks.

Yeah just offering verbage. I'm pretty sure my Rubber Duck had a logo. Don't have it anymore. That spumoni cue sure looks bad. I have a repulsion to any cue with pearlescent accents.
