brunswick balke collender cues

[cbrand]

Is there any experts on these cues. I'm waiting for a couple of old cues to arrive and they seem to be Brunswick but all stickers are gone. I'm looking for some one who can tell me if they are or not. I got them to potentially convert.

If you post pics I can tell you what you have.

I have this one. A pretty rare bird. 1940s cue with double veneered double butterfly points. Still nearly dead straight with ivory ferrule.

The cues appear to be standard Brunswick Balke Collender house cues (model No. 20) with upgrade wraps. They offered cork, braided, twine, and silk in the 1917 catalog.

Your cues have the Eisenmeister braided wrap.

At one time there would have been decals at the bottom end of the cue picturing an eagle. The earlier labels were white and the later ones red.

its hard to tell in the picture but each cue is different, the one one on top had a milled looking flat spot on it.

Probably still a No. 20, just an older version with the beveled end.

How old should you put these

Eisenmeister woven wraps were used from 1912 to 1923. Yours are model 20s with four spliced points. Rare to have cue with perf ect wraps. Pretty delicate silk and when it starts to unravel there is no stopping it.
