How to identify an antique Brunswick Cue?

[mrbill02931194]

Can anyone give me any clues to how old this cue is or how much (if anything) it's worth?
Thanks

I would guess the cue is probably about 100 years old. As far as the value, if the cue is straight I would think it would be in the $150 to $250 range. Possibly Rosewood and maybe an Ivory ferrule?
Fishing line wrap looks like its in decent shape. No points on the forearm and a possible split through the butt of the cue will take the value down some.
Nice cue!

Brunswick antique cue labels- Gold label with red filling is 1921 -25. Green label with red or yellow filling 1926-39- yours looks like a Green with red filling , if so then 26-39 Brunswick. Nice cue, nice full original label, looks like original wrap, hopefully it has original ivory ferrule- I think in the $200 or so range is accurate as well. Too bad, if it had a nice four pointed forearm instead of a solid wood forearm you could easily double the value or more.
