A few house cues and Titlist cue: can you identify the woods used?

It'd be easier to tell if you find out if they have weight bolts .
If they're naturally heavy, must be some rosewood or cherry.
If they're light, maybe mahogany.

Also I found the weight stamp on the cue that says 21 it looks like within a horseshoe shape that also has Brunswick around it faintly. The number is a lot smaller in size than any other stamped weight symbol I have seen. I thought I read that 1st run Titlists were stamped this way?? Any info is much appreciated! Thanks,

but i have done dozens of titlist conversions. it is almost impossable to tell what wood you have until you clean some of the old finish off the wood, and the end so we can see the end grain.
i had a customer send a real dark grungy titlist to me to convert, we were both really suprised because under that dark dirty finish was the most beautiful highly figured curly purpleheart i have ever seen.
in one of the photos the wood looks like red palmwood, but thats a wild guess

Cool thanks for the info! What do you recommend me clean it with? And you mean the end grain as in where the bumper is? Sometimes it kind of looks like Purple Heart and at some areas it looks to have some curly characteristics but it looks brown in color so idk. My cue repair guy thought rosewood but wasn't sure. And anything special with that weight stamp?
I think he means take a skim cut...
Oh ok yea makes sense. So I prob won't really know until I get it converted I guess..most likely going to get it converted..points are popping up a little at the tips and it's not perfectly straight. The only thing that would make me reconsider if it is really rare because of the different style weight stamp?? Is it a first run and does that affect the value? What would you guys do? I kind of don't want to let it get any worse and would like to keep the history alive by getting it converted.
