Looking for information about this old Adams cue

[taylor9ball]

I am seeking any information about this old cue, which I believe is an Adams. It's a three-piece cue with four .4oz weights, two .8oz weights, a screw-on 11.75mm ferrule, two butterfly points, Lion logo, ivory colored joint. The butterfly points are really well done. View attachment 380854

Well, the logo and the bumper look right for an Adam, but I've never seen one like this before.

How long are the pieces? Very interesting cue.

Length of cue

The length with no weights is 57 3/4" and weight is 17.6o/z
The length with weights is 58 1/2" and weight is 20.8 o/z
the weight could be 17.6,18,18.4,18,8,19.2,19.6,20,20.4, or 20.8o/z
the lenght could also very by 3/4 inch depending on the weights use.

So it is a standard sized cue with the two buttons pieces attached? It looks like an extension. Very interesting, I've never seen that before.

I'm guessing only the brass weights came with the cue. The silver colored ones look just like the ones from one of those cheapie ramin wood cues.

Me either. I would not have said it was an Adam without the logo and I'm still not sure it is.
