These are two photos of a RICH-Q cue I picked up at an estate sale.
The label says:
RICH Q
BISON
Any information on this cue would be appreciated.

Your cue was made by the RICH CUE Corporation of Valley Stream Long Island (probably in the 1970s) and is associated with Saul Rich, not Abe Rich.
During this era, the company was purchased by the Imperial Corporation.
They were and remain inexpensive cues and are often mistaken with, or assumed to be made by, Abe Rich.

"Bison" is the model name, and it is from the Rich Cue Corp "Imperial" series, I believe.
Here's a bit of marketing materials from that series, showing the series and model name. It also supports the information about the company from @Type79 above.
Here is another example of the same Rich-Q Bison pool cue model:
