Oh!

Picturing "I'm your Caber" got me thinking.

"Dictionary of American Slang: Second Supplemented Edition" (Crowell, 1975):

"A man; specif., the exact kind of man needed for a particular
purpose. 1936: "Well, I'm your huckleberry, Mr. Haney." Tully,
"Bruiser," 37. Since 1880, archaic.

The "Historical Dictionary of American Slang" which is a multivolume
work, has about a third of a column of citations documenting this
meaning all through the latter 19th century.

So "I'm your huckleberry" means "I'm just the man you're looking for!"
