Yeah, I’d like to see how even the points are…..looks like good work though.

Anybody with a lathe could make it using available materials at the time.
The pin looks to be a screw someone turned to a point.
Nothing here to say it was made by any recognized cue maker.
Looks like the first cue I ever made.

I’m almost 100% certain the cue was made by Paul Huebler, he used that ring design above the butt cap on a regular basis. However, it appears that the cue has been refinished because it should have Huebler engraved on the butt cap. The cues weight bolt is also exactly the type Paul used in his cues. This appears to be a very early Huebler production cue, most likely made in the 1970s.

Is there a plastic insert in the shaft?

I thought Huebler right away too but don't think I've ever seen him use that joint material, that I know of. The whole cue, butt cap, bolt, shaft color, all looks too pristine to be 70's era old. Maybe an old Huebler, refinished, wrapped and some new components added.

Thanks for the reply. The shaft has a brass insert.

Purchased from ebay in the early 90s exactly as pictured, I'm not saying work was never done on it, but I've never had any work done to it.

There's less then a 1/4" difference between all the points. If it a converted house cue, whom ever did the work picked a nice one to work with.

I've seen tons of house cues made that well. This cue is a conversion, some maker did not make this from his own full spice. The valley cues from back then were pretty nice sticks.

Yeah, that’s what I believe occurred, or the cue could be a prototype however I doubt we will ever know for sure.

Then it may or may not be the original shaft for that cue. But to my knowledge, Paul Huebler didn't use brass shaft inserts.

Hope this helps
