Paul Huebler began making pool cues in the early seventies out of Missouri. I believe in the early days Bob Meucci and Paul Hubler worked together to start their companies. Huebler cues are easy to identify by the Huebler made-in-USA logo or it could have a Huebler vertical logo found on the butt cap. Cues that wouldn't have a logo could also be identified by the 5 16-18 thread and the nylon insert into the shaft.
