Titlist Dates For BushkaBob

[96supersport]

Can anyone make a guess as to the vintage of the Titlist in the pictures below based on the labels? The first was originally a 2-piece purpleheart Willie Hoppe, and the second is from a rosewood 1-piece Titlist.

Bob,

The Hoppe is 1960-1966. You need to show the top of the Titlist label to see how "Brunswick" is written, but it looks initially like a pre 1945... Runscott has a website that has all the labels. You can use the Search feature to compare your cues...

Regards,

Steve

I believe Hunter is right on the dating. Here is Runscott's website for Hoppe/Titlist cues:

http://www.oldsplice.homestead.com/HoppeCues.html

Click on the labels on the left side. The top one is for 1-piece Titlist cues and the second one is for 2-piece Hoppe cues. Once you click on those, there will be some labels with dates to help you date your cues.
