I came across these old cues and wanted to know if anyone could help ID them. I know the one is a Willie Hoppe Professional but not sure on the rest. Any info would be great and I'll take some better pics of the cue next to the Hoppe with all the butterflys.
Help ID these old cues
- Thread starter MnHunter
- Start date
They're almost all old Brunswick's.
I've copied some of the catalogs here- you should be able to find all the cues:

If the cues have a weight stamp on the forearm, think 1930's or later. Weight stamp on the butt, 1920's or earlier.
You should be able to figure it out from the catalogs, carefully noting the features like forearm veneers (if any). The decal on the one thrid from the bottom looks like mid 1920's.
The Hoppe is seriously out of place. That one is from around 1960 - 1965.
The butterfly is probably the most valuable of this group. Does it also have the wedge name plate?

Missing the wedge unfortunately
It's still a very pretty cue - I would love to see it restored. I have some old restored cues. They not only look amazing, they play pretty good.
