Im going to go out on a limb and say that they arent ivory. More than likely melamine, which was a common material when that cue was made.
From what I have heard, they very seldom if ever use ivory in the check rings like that because it has the ability to mess with the cue structurally down the road (swelling, moving).

Thanks did these have schon on the shaft?
I just purchased the *SP-49 listed in this pic and the original shaft has SCHON 13 inscribed on the collar (the "13" is referring to the diameter). I've seen SCHON 12.75 on some as well. The newer shafts have the Schon inscription on the shaft. Hope this helps, you have a beautiful cue.

Best,
Mike
 
It takes a little while for Evan to get back to you, he's a very busy man. He sent me the original price on the SP-49, which he quoted at $1000. As far as it's worth now, I paid $600 for mine. If had to guess, I think yours might fall somewhere between $600-850, just my uneducated opinion. As far as the yellowing, could be age. Email Profficient Billiards and or Evan and see if it can be restored.

She's a keeper, hit'em straight.

Thanks for all the info. I email Evan hope to here from him.
This shaft has no marking or schon.
Im not a schon fan so it will be put up for sale soon.
Thank Rvan.:)
