What cue is this Huebler?

Registered
Well I have finally registered here after being a lurker for some time. This forum has always been a good read and I have been easily humbled by the talent and knowledge I find here.

I have a Huebler cue I would like to identify correctly. It was air-loomed to me by my father several years ago. I believe it is a Hitter, but have never been able to find any real info on one just like it, and the info I have acquired just doesn't seem to fit with the marking/labels it has.

What I know of it is that my father had this cue before he moved to Alaska in 1985, but research tells me that cues with "cue by Huebler" first appeared in 86. Also that the Hitters were cataloged as H-1, H-2, H-3, etc. But this cue still has the sticker on it and it reads H-0. I have not removed the rubber from the butt, but from what I can see there, it does not look to be a custom.

As many folks have found themselves in these economic hard times, I have stumbled into a time that finds me trying to continue to pay the mortgage which will be finished in a couple years. I really do not want to sell this cue if I can at all avoid it, but if the need should arise, I do wish to be able to list it with the appropriate information, and have a good idea of what the value would be.

So I guess this is where you folks come in. I would graciously be asking for assistance with these questions should I need to let go of this cue. I have taken a couple of poor photos of the cue, and if I could, I will post them here somehow. Thank you if any of you can lead me in the right direction with this.

Cues that appear in catalogs are often there because they came out a bit earlier, and were popular enough to add to the catalog. Would explain why the cue could easily have been made before 1986. It's actually identical to the #3 in the 1978 catalog, except that in 1978, it did not have the SS joint.or the horizontal logo.

If it's in very good condition, I would value it at around $200. But I couldn't help but notice the chalk on the ferrule from "grinding". This will eventually (may have already) wear a groove, and your cue will have depreciated because of that.

Thank you for your response, and this is what I hoped, not worth selling something that means so much to me and the memories.
 
"Air-loomed?" You are cracking me up. :eek:

Glad to give you a chuckle! Maybe my english is not so good, but I thought that is what it is called to receive something you hold special from a loved family member. It's value in memories far out weigh the value of dollars.
 
zombieking...English is not the easiest language, especially for those whose "native" language is from somewhere else. The correct term you're looking for is heirloom (you were close, and we knew what you meant)! BTW, welcome to the forum!

Air-loom. I love it. And now I'm going to use it and take credit.

To air is human; to forgive is to forget (or something like that)

Freddie <~~~ hope that helped
