So Huebler sneaky petes are actually quite rare as are his one-piece cues. Plain Janes, which is what you bought, were the most common mass-produced cue Huebler made. I have three or four from every logo style and did not pay more than $120 bucks for any of them. A sneaky pete is designed to...

Shopgoodwill only ships FedEx. And you paid Six bucks more than it was worth to me ;) For what it's worth I did buy a Herman Rambow off there two weeks ago.

They did not share a mentor but became friends and Bob started making the first Meucci cues out of Paul's shop in MO. They shared parts, pins, and rings and some of those early cues even had nylon inserts in the shaft. These first Meucci's had a sticker on the butt but the stickers were not well...

I too have one of those "is it a Huebler or is it a Meucci" cues. I'm glad you know which side yours falls on.

It could be a rebadged Connelly

That's actually a really nice plain jane from the Cues By generation, but at the end of the day it's still just a plain jane. The market for Hueblers has kicked up recently along with most of the old American made mass cues like Viking, McDermott, Mali. What you used to be able to buy for $50...

it's a $130 cue that's going to be bid up to 180-200 on Shopgoodwill by dumbass ebay flippers who will then relist it for $300-$325 but never be able to sell it. This was literally the cheapest entry-level cue made by Huebler, bid accordingly.

So as a pool ball collector every morning I look in the mirror and repeat this simple phrase... What's in the box, is not what came in the box. These balls are Chinese poly-resin imports, pure crap.

Yeah but now there like, rare or something.

$300 cue on Flebay so at $45 you got the steal of a lifetime!

I live in KC and no one I know in either league I play in has ever heard of Jim Buss, I'm constantly extolling his virtues but he is a ghost even here. I feel like Jim was a cuemakers maker and outside hardcore collecting nerds he is not really known.

This could also be a custom shop order from the late 50's hence the variation

base value of a plain ivory ball in great shape is about $150 to $175 on the secondary market. If it's dyed or part of a unique set then the value will go up from there.

US Mali ceased production in 2002 and the white/sliver logos were the last year of production. When the brand was purchased and production moved to China they shifted to the Mali logo that looked like this: And this:

no, that logo should still be a USA made Mali Guy selling that exact same model here in KC, wants $300, I offered him $150 and he told me I did not know shit about cues. Oh, the chuckles that still give me....

you have an Aramith cue ball and a set of Chinese poly-resin balls As a pool ball collector, I live by one very simple rule: What is in the box, is not what came in the box. As long as you follow that edict you will be fine...

So in this condition, even at 100 yrs old, not a lot of historical value here. Also, Briggs is not known as a maker of rare and desirable cues, and as people have mentioned without veneers of some type you're just not hitting any of the collectiblity points. They are still just plain house...

One comment I will say on this is the quality of old-growth wood like what's in these cues has a value, but there are not a lot of cue makers that would be interested in doing a conversion on them. I would have bought them for $50 shipped

You want to get you one of these beauts Clark... Albert Pick & Co.

How good should we feel, as in.. how much did it sell for?
