#2 brazilian rosewood
#4 african mahogany/sapele

The rest I believe are possibly purpleheart. Tough to know without scraping them. You can remove the bumper & use a utility knife to cut a small sliver to see the natural color of the wood. If it's purple then it's purpleheart. If it's kinda red then it's mahogany. If it's pale brown then likely walnut. Cues that old fade so much they all look the same. Purple turns pale brown and walnut lightens. Both look like mahogany. But a small sliver cut from under the bumper will reveal the true color & that'll help identify the wood.
 
erics right about taking the small sliver off the butt end.....

#1 may be oak....but hard to tell from pics.
 
A brazilian rosewood 26 1/2, or Titlist, is a really great find! Purpleheart, too, but not nearly as rare as ebony, macassar, or BZRW.
I have a PH Titlist conversion. Lightnin' in a jug. I was very lucky.
Very cool.

Brian,

I agree on the rosewood. Some of the lighter ones look like sun bleached mahogany grain. Could be honduras mahog.
