Cue maker?

[HoustonInt]

I had a customer bring me a cue for a tip replacement. I noticed a name/date was scratched out on the forearm. When I looked under the rubber, I saw what looks like the same name/date. The cue looks like an older production cue but thought it was strange to have a name on the forearm and under the rubber.

Anyone recognize the maker?

I’ve already returned the cue so don’t have better pics but here is the full cue

Do you remember what type of insert was in the shaft

It was a gray nylon insert. I didn’t count but think it was 5/16x18 thread on the pin.

It was more than likely ( looking at the condition of the cue) dirty as a something stored in the back room of a warehouse that wasn't visited in about 10 years, I'm pretty sure it was a Huebler, and the writing on the end f the butt was someone that once owned it

I bet it says Joe Childs.

Hope this helps.

My customer mentioned that his father gave it to him 15 years ago and he has not really used it since then. I know it is hard to say but his last name wasn’t Childs so was Joe Childs could have been the cue maker?

I saw an old post in AZ about Joe Childs being a cue maker in Arkansas…
