Mystery Cue... Help!!

[rodcar]

This cue belongs to a friend. It has mark on it but does have a nylon insert in the shaft common in Hueblers. He was told when he bought it about 25-28 years ago it was a Meucci. Maybe someone will recognize the model and/or workmanship. Cue is very well made, simple but very nice.

From what I can see of that cue, it reminds me quite a bit of my first cue. I was told that mine was some kind of a "kit cue" made by Showcase. Not sure what that even means and did not ever investigate further.

Looks like a Viking to me.

Looks like a Huebler with the colors and the white joint, but then again it looks like a Meucci pin....

QB or QM cue

this is a meucci and a huebler...years ago (25+) when Bob Meucci first started he worked for Paul Huebler...When Bob decided to go it on his own he started QB or QM cues - I cant remember the name, I have pictures of some at home on my harddrive.

All this to say is when bob started he borrowed some of paul's cues attributes...i.e. pin and insert and changed the taper...he later changed the insert to brass.

hope this helps.

If you want to take a risk, you might wanna try to take off the irish linen wrap and see if it's marked anywhere. Sometimes cue makers signed it under the wrap.

Paul Huebler did mention to me that Bob worked for him briefly some years ago. That sounds like the best conclusion, Thanks!
