I have what appears to be a Palmer model 17 with one exception. The butt says that it is a Huebler. Everything else looks exactly like the model 17. Does anyone know why this is?
Palmer model 17

My guess is, someone broke it and fixed it with a Heubler part. Or they asked Heubler to make an exact copy. Of they just engraved Heubler on the cue for some reason.
I could guess some more but it may be simpler to post pictures of the thing.
Plus you got it from somewhere, you can't ask the person you got it from?
That is how I came across this cue's questionable history.
If you look up the Palmer model 17 it looks exactly like the one I have a just slightly different from the one on that ebay listing.
The difference that I can see is a different inlay pattern on the butt sleeve.
The 17 has a few more pearl dots, and maybe a slightly different shaped diamond.
Cool cue and very close....maybe a Huebler copy of a Palmer?
Interesting Palmer tribute.....
It looks like one of the Hueblers that were part of a Palmer Tribute line. I had one that I bought new that was very close to the model #13. I do think it had the custom shop butt but I may be wrong. Either way it is a very cool cue. The Hueblers play much better than the Palmers anyway IMO.
