Unknown cue identification? Any help appreciated.

[classiccues]

I mentioned Huebler because it had some Hubleresque elements. However, the cue is very generic. Keep in mind when you look at a cue, and you start to use shafts, bumpers, butt caps, weight bolts etc as benchmarks... you are making an assumption that they are original. All those parts, even the joint screw, are easily changeable by any cuemaker. My Gus for 30 years had a Bushka brown bumper. Why? Because my uncle asked Gus if he had one and he did, and he put it in. He wasn't insulted my uncle asked for that bumper, he was more than happy to do it.

Over the lifetime of a cue, it may incur many changes and mods... It is one of the reasons we don't ID from pics if we can help it, at least not on the big boy cues.

Is that a brass insert I see in the shaft?? Also look at the tight grain in the butt at the joint. Somebody picked a damn nice old growth chunk for that one. I'll buy it if it's for sale.
I was thinking Heubler as well, until I saw that brass. Now I'm scratching whatever else I got that's itchin'.

Definitely for sale. Just hard to put a number not knowing.
