Huebler cue info

[sneakynito]

Does anyone have any information on this cue, or advice on whether it would be a good buy or not? Says he thinks its a late 70's or early 80's, rolls straight and is in excellent condition. Asking $175. Here's a link to the images. http://imgur.com/a/LK4f0

Thanks

There is one member here that is a Huebler collector. Maybe he will see this.
I've had a few and have one old one left. Someone on here was selling one (Merry Widow) identical to the one I have for $300.

Lets face it, $175 is not that much to pay for an older (collectable) cue, specially a Huebler let alone any decent playing cue.

The cue in the pic looks to be in decent shape.
I doubt you'd be able to pick it up anywhere for less.
If you're thinking that you'll pick it up for $175 and make a gazillion by flipping it, then good luck. Those lucky scores are few and far between.

But is it worth $175, IMO yes it is. I bet it plays real nice.

The cue cost between $175 and $225 new, if it is straight it should be some where around that today, however, it doesn't have the original bumper. These production Heubler cues were made in very large quantities so even though they are no longer made they are not highly collectible or valuable.

Oh and by the way, the cue was in the very very late 80's or sometime during the 90's according to the name stamp on the butt cap.

Good Luck

thanks for the info. i wasn't looking to flip it, i'm just looking for something that plays nice with a bit of history to it. i know very little about older cues though, so i wanted to make sure i'm not being taken.

Manwon , or anyone else , would you give me your opinion on what kind of ferrule that is on that shaft ? It is the same one that is on my sneaky pete from that era . I asked on the cuemakers forum but nobody really commented . If you look closely you can see the shaft through the ferrule , don't think there is a tenon cut and it is a slip on style.

Kind of translucent , it is very thin , i never had a problem with it , just wondering if they are still used , and wondered about what material it was so i could ask a repair man if he had a replacement .

In the photo for this cue the translucences is glare from the camera or other light.

Heubler used a composite Fiber ferrule material for his production cues. This material was very durable and easy to work with, however, they don't make it anymore. It was not translucent or shiny in any way, so whatever, is on your cue was most likely a replacement.

Now on almost all of Paul's custom cues he used either Ivory or Buckhorn, and yes on his non-custom cues the ferrules were just slid upon the tenon, however, on his custom cues at least the ones I have seen they were screwed on and glued.

Hope this helps.
