In my younger days there was Hueabler, McDermott and Meucci cues (80s).
Well, being 15 years old, putting money together for a cue was pretty tough
but I remember that I was saving for a while to buy me a cue and the
question was then : Pool League or Julio Stambolini (Think it was spelled like this).
This was my first cue ever (when friends still used local stuff) and I remember
the shaft had the joint pin.

Is there any one out there which could help me with some information on
these "brands" ? I guess they both where Chinese ?

Next cue was a Dufferin and then a real "expensive" D1 - McDermott.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

That line is listed in the Blue Book.

I needed a cue when I joined a Moose Leauge over 20 years ago. One of the better players, Jim, had one and tried to sell it to me. I didn't know much about cues and he wanted $250 which was way too much for me at the time. I remember it was a nice looking cue with green and yellow veneers. A few months later I came across a cue dealer and mentioned that cue. He laughed and said it is a good thing that I didn't buy it because he "gave" the cue to Jim and to see if he could get a few dollars for it because it had a warped butt. Never trusted Jim about anything after that.
