So this question has been answered in the Hubler Collectors Facebook group where there are a couple of former employees that are members of the group.UPDATE --- When were cues with abbreviated logo Cue by Huebler made?
Here is a Huebler logo NOT dated above.
No Huebler logo above has only the words “Cue By HUEBLER”. Huebler had a similar logo but with more words: “CUE BY HUEBLER MADE IN U.S.A.” See photos below.
My guess is that cues with logo “Cue By HUEBLER” were made before cues with logo “CUE BY HUEBLER MADE IN U.S.A.”. The Made in U.S.A. was added as a marketing feature and near the start of more-common advertising identifying items manufactured in the U.S.A. It makes sense, too, because Cue by Huebler logo follows the no-U.S.A., really simple Huebler logo. It was only with the cues with logo CUE BY HUEBLER MADE IN U.S.A. that Huebler stated bragging in its logo where the cue was made.
This makes more sense if all Huebler cues were made in the U.S.A. and it was only an advertising push that resulted in the logo changed to include Made in U.S.A.
If all Huebler cues were not produced in the U.S.A. its possible that the cues with "Cue by Huebler" and "CUE BY HUEBLER MADE IN U.S.A." were made at the same time and those that were made in U.S.A. were only those with that logo.
My guess:
Before July 1986: vertical HUEBLER
Guessing soon after July 1986 Cue by Huebler
Guessing some time after July 1986 and before June 1993: CUE BY HUEBLER MADE IN U.S.A.
After June 1993: HUEBLER MADE IN U.S.A.

The "Cue by Huebler" without the USA was first but only for a year or two before the Made in the USA was added.
NO Huebler cue was EVER made outside of Missouri much less the United States.
