Nice old cue...Knight-of-Pool said:
Possibly a very early Tim Scruggs"
GET Nice clear pictures...also of the joint pin and collars and remove the rubber bumper, get some pics there as well < WILL HELP OUT ALOT :wink:
It will help if you can post pics of the bumper and the weight bolt. Is that a stainless steel joint pin? what material is the joint made from?
the splices in the forearm look real good. are the points even? The ferule look like it is newer than the rest of the cue, did you have a new one put on?

Cue could be an Early Heubler, can you take a photo of the cues bumper? There is also another possiblity, the cue could also be a National cue. I have also seen National cues with the insert in the shaft. For those who don't know it, Bob Meucci, Richard Helmstetter, Rico Cervanties, and Paul Huebler all worked together at National cue.
I agree, possibly National or Huebler. The point work looks to be exceptional.
Where can I get info on National Cue and does anybody have a email address for Paul Huebler.
Few more pics
Here are few more pic of the cue. The pics are not very good one of the insert in the shaft, one of the weight bolt, one of the butt and one of the joint. Thanks for all the help. Jerry

weight bolt
how important is the weight bolt as far as indentification goes?
the reason i ask is because i took the bumper off my mali and it was the same.
my mali,i'm told,was made by palmer.the points,collars,and weight bolt are the same.mine has a 5/16-18 piloted pin,no insert.could the insert be something that was added later?

Mali cues were not made by Palmer, however, they also did make the forearms. Palmer did however sell Mali cues, along with some other brands starting on the 1970's. The forearms for many of the older Mali cues were purchased from different companies, some came from Adam Cues Japan. The shaft insert is nylon and along with the weight bolt I am certain it is a National cue. I am pretty certain that the style of weight bolt used was first used by Nation in the late 1960's. I think after that time frame many cue makers started buying these parts from the same supplier.
Since there are know catalogs for Nation Cues information about them is based upon the knowledge of collectors or others like myself who are in this business.
Thank you for your time and all the help. Jerry
