Help Identifying Pool Cue

[SlateMan]

I bought this cue as online the butt looked a lot like the QB2 (Huebler/Meucci) cues I have. But side by side, they are different. The butt is different. The ring work close to the pin is different. The pin is much different and the joint is different. After looking at all of this, I was leaning towards thinking this is a Schmelke.

Any help provided would be appreciated.....

Never seen a Schmelke with that joint. Info: http://www.billiardsforum.com/pool-cue-identification/id-old-meucci-custom-cues-with-sticker Looks like it may have been made by some place called QualityBilliards in Colorado.

Looks like an import with that sticker on it. Never seen a Schmelke with that joint.

It's the one on the left. The two with stickers are early Huebler/Meucci cues. See someone else's picture below.

Send pic to David at Schmelke. He'll know.

It is definitely a weird joint. These are all Schmelke joints.

Sent the pic to David S. He said they didn't make it.

It's an early Meucci, from when Bob set up shop inside the Huebler shop in Missouri.

Having said that it is more Huebler than Meucci since about half of the early sticks were made by Bob and the remainder by Paul with parts and stickers Bob left in his shop after they had a falling out.

Funny story, if you called him after he opened Meucci Originals and asked to get one of these early cues worked on he would refuse and send you to Huebler.

Might be an early Adam cue. They made some with the pin in the shaft

Can you show us the joint on the butt?

the way to find out is put it in trash can at the pool room. if its still there tomorrow then you know

other way is to ask measureman if its a wonderful cue if he says yes then you know for sure.

It is an Adam.
