Anyone have idea of the value?

I thought so too, as another friend of mine has a similar one, but different color rings and white joint and butt sleeves. Both cues were purchased in Chicago (Niles actually) at the Corner Pocket. $50 each. Circa 1980.

Can anyone help ID this cue?

Thanks.

Kind of looks Meucci-ish, except for the pin.

Do Hueblers have the pin in the shaft?

Can anyone here identify this cue maker?

I've had one of his cues for over 10 years. Still arrow straight and plays great.

Maybe it's the crocks. Just kidding. Nice cue. Should def sell for $800.

I have a set of those balls. Eventually, the numbers rubbed off, but not the stripes or solid color. Good thing I know ball colors.

What is inlay material? Nice cue.

Mine has a signature under the clear coat, looks like a sharpie was used. My opinion is that signatures don't increase the value, but are a nice touch. It irritates me though that signatures, like Balabushka are printed on cues that were not made by the cuemaker. Just my 2 cents.

I've got a McDermot C3 that I bought in 1980 (1st real cue) which has seen many a game and kind of beat up (still arrow straight) that I use to break with. Never will be sold.

Very nice indeed! You are one lucky boy Fatboy.

I won't begrudge a good cuemaker selling his cues for a good price. Everyone has to make a living and if you are a craftsman making an exceptional product you should be justly compensated. I doubt even the best cuemakers are getting rich making cues.
