I was told they were wood back then and made from cocobolo as an option. I am 95% sure the set on my cue were cocobolo. I found this cue after a 15 year separation, but the protectors were long gone. Would love to find a set.
Thanks for the input.
Schon Did Make Cocobolo Sets
I'm not willing to part with mine but I do have a set of protectors that I ordered from Schon that was shipped with my cue order. The set consists of three protectors: 1 cue butt & 2 shaft protectors all in cocobolo with a 5/16x14 thread. At least you know these protectors exist and best of luck with your search.

can you please post a picture of your set? are they solid cocobolo or are they laminated like we were discussing?

Chris,
I just took some photos of the protectors in the sunlight so that the color of the wood would stand out more. The indoor photos made the protectors look like a dark wood color, almost like ebony but they're not.
If you PM me your e-mail, I'll send you the photos. I just spent the last 35mins taking photos and attempting to get them posted without success. I made sure to shrink the file size down using Windows zip to smaller than 5K for each photo (total of 3 photos) but it wouldn't work.

This is the set I am looking for. As you can see, a little lighter than the new ones made today.

here is a set of the original cocobolo color listed for sale with the cue they came with...
i doubt he will part with them without the cue.. but i thought it was a perfect example of what they look like...
they are deffinatly the diamond wood and in my opinion they are the same as the ones evan makes today for sale on the schon website.. although the ones on the site are the black versions...
anyways..
