Help with older brunswicks?

[basid]

These cues have been in my dads basement for years....
Anyone know how old they are? Or what they are called?
I did a search of this site and looked in the blue book but couldn't find any that were like it... I may of missed it...

I read in the encyclopedia, the reason for the ebony, and sometimes Rosewood at the tip end, it was a fix for a broken cue. When a cue broke, it was sent back and this was the fix. In 1915, I think a Chicago Pool Room had 5-600 of these on the wall. In high humidity, the ebony slipped thu there hands better than Maple. That and a couple buck, and you have a cup of coffee.

Brunswick ID

Looks like the early 1900s Brunswick Model 20x. Similar to the Model 26 1/2. I have two of these in very good condition with the wraps still intact. If you decide to sell them I may be interested.
