Value and Info on a Hubbart Pool Cue

I found this "HUBBART" pool cue and I can’t seem to find any exact pictures of it around, although it is very similar to others I found.

I won’t be long winded. Can anyone tell me exactly what it is?

I don’t find any other markings on it except the word *-HUBBART-* as you see on the handle.

   This is a Meucci Originals Larry Hubbart LH-4 pool cue from the Larry Hubbart "Phase II" series circa 1984-1985.

   Meucci Originals LH-4 Cue

   LH-5 - Stained Birdseye Over Ebony. Two Point Inlayed Butt, Accented with Green Veneer, Inlayed Joint and Butt, Black Implex Joint and Butt Plate.

   $125

   This MSRP equates to about $380 USD in today's dollars (which makes sense as this is a middle-of-the-range model).

   Larry Hubbart was a top professional pool player of his day, and this is a series done by Meucci Originals for Larry, one of the Meucci-sponsored professionals at that time.

   There are a lot of Meucci Originals cue collectors out there and this cue is worth quite a bit of money.

   Here are the relevant bits from the 1984 Larry Hubbart "The Ultimate Weapon" Meucci Originals cue brochure:

   I also have a Meucci LH-4 pool cue, but it has a brass screw and threaded joint insert.

   Based on my research, that makes it from the Larry Hubbart series "phase 1".

   Am I correct on this?

   Thanks in advance.

   @tjoeerry - In general you can't really make that assumption. It's not a guarantee.

   For a long time, you could order either one. Sometimes if they were out of brass, they would use stainless steel. Yes, in some cases, the earliest of Meucci Originals cues sometimes more commonly had brass pins, and later ones tended to have stainless steel, but again, not a guarantee.

   The "Phase I" Larry Hubbart brochure shows the cues pictured with Brass pins and it was from 1977 or later (as it references one of Larry's tournament wins from 1977).

   The only problem is, the model pictured above (the LH-4 having the black butt sleeve with green rings) doesn't exist in the earlier brochure. There is an "LH-4" model in that one, but it looks nothing like the one pictured above as models vs. model numbers changed slightly between the series.

   Can you share clear photos of your Larry Hubbart LH4 cue, just so that we're sure which one you're talking about?
