ID Brunswick Pool Cue with Large "B" Logo
Can anyone help to identify this Brunswick pool cue?
I think it is a custom 1960s Brunswick cue with serious M.O.P. inlays and an ostrich skin wrap. There are more inlays above the points, mother-of-pearl at both joints.
I am looking for any info to verify the year, maker, and can make more photos available.
I am thinking that it was made for someone important. I would love to know if that can be determined also.
It seems like work similar to that of Herman Rambo. That's just just a personal observation.

The series was the "N/B" series (not to be confused with the Adam-branded "Nikki Benish" series which also had the "N/B" abbreviation).
It wouldn't be a custom-made cue, but rather, a production one. I believe it to be from some time more recent than the 1960s, likely the 1970s.
I don't have this specific catalog though, but I do have some photos of some of the other Adam-made Brunswick cues from that series.
It's a beautiful-looking pool cue. Hope these help!
In the first image you'll see two similar Brunswick-branded Adam cues on the left, shown next to Adam-branded cues from the same era.
And below are two other Brunswick cue models made by Adam Japan, showing the model number stickers with the series name "N/B". These models are the Brunswick N/B-11 and N/B-12 pool cues. You can also see the "JAPAN" sticker and the weight stickers so typically used on Adam Japan cues from that era.
