Huebler Custom Shop

[Maxx]

Someone bumped the thread about Mr. Huebler’s passing and it got me thinking about his work. Here is a photo of some of the cues that came out of the Custom Shop.
The cues span from 1986-98, and I’ve enjoyed shooting with all of them.

I’m a pretty big fan of the production cues too, they play just as good!

Very nice collection.

I see a Blue Mammoth, a legendary model.

Great cues.

Thanks for showing off! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Love that bottom Hoppe. I've been looking for one of those for several years. Can never seem to find one, though.

Great collection.

Thanks.
I don’t think very many of the “number” cues were made, I've only seen one other one.

Hello Maxx, here is a picture of an early Huebler when he was in a partnership with another cue maker. It's the one with the linen wrap. It's not mine but I was offered the chance to buy it last year.

While it is not a custom, my old mid 70’s Huebler has the same forearm are one of yours. The Huebler is in the middle with the hoppe ring

That's a sweet cue, looks like a nice player. Have you had it since the 70's?

David, is that one of the sticker cues from Meucci?

No, but I bought it from a guy who bought it while he was in college in the 70’s. The cue is a few years older than me. It has the RH7 logo on it designating it a Renaissance model #7 cue.

I just noticed it has the same butt cap and joint as the last cue in you group.

That is a gorgeous Hoppe cue.

Also, PDX...I am just getting active on the forums again (Took a long hiatus due to work and life), but I'm not too far away from you down the road in The Dalles these days.

I missed that. I have one other cue that has the same butt cap.

I was told it was a joint venture between Meucci and Huebler, a venture that did not last very long.

I sent you an email as to who owns it in case you want it. He sells many new cues every year but I don't think he sells used ones, it came to him on trade or something.

It's a cool cue but one ring was bad I believe. I almost bought it for my own collection but we had no idea what it was worth. We would like to know, if I make him a fair offer, he would say yes and it would be smiling near my table that day.

If anyone has any idea, spit it out.

Cool cues from Huebler in this thread. I picked up a 86 Hitter series H-D yesterday tulipwood with 4 ebony points. Pawn shop 40 bucks. Needs cleaned up, but straight and sounds solid. I'll chuck it up and try cleaning and pressing the filthy wrap today. My dog likes it...

 

[Maxx]

Pretty nice $40 cue!

Dogs are a hoot.

One of my favorite Huebler cues!

Paul had suggested it was made in the mid 1970's but wasn't sure exactly when. I call it his Bushka tribute. I have never seen another one like it.

My first thought was Burton Spain tribute when I saw it then I read your Bushka tribute comment. The ring work really reminds me of Burton's work. You have a really nice cue.

 

[CincyQCollector]

Thanks Chris! I agree about the ringwork. It was one of my first cues when I started collecting Hueblers (my first Huebler was bought in 1980 - sold it to a friend who still has it). And as you might expect it plays fantastic although I don't play it that much.

I have never seen anything Huebler did that topped the US Open cue.

IMO, it is a masterpiece, and one of my all-time favorite cues from ANY cuemaker.

[Maxx]

I agree with you Ken! That’s one reason you don’t see very many US Opens up for sale.
I have been selling some cues, no Huebler’s yet, but I’ve come to the conclusion that you can have too many cues.

CincyQCollector that is a very special cue you posted, I like it a lot. People posted some nice Huebler cues in this thread, thanks for sharing!
