Old Brunswick Professional Willie Hoppe... Possible value...

[Icon of Sin]

Hey guys, figured if anyone would know it would be the fine collectors here at AZ.

Anyway a buddy of mine came across this cue when it was given to him when he bought a used table. I only have two pics so far withj more possibly coming so I will post what I have. He wants to know if this has any value to it or not.

Im going to try to get some more pics from him as soon as possible.

Uhhhhhhhh, yeah, it has pretty good value. An ivory ring Hoppe Pro, in decent condition, will generally bring about $350 minimum on Ebay. Haven't really been following the market lately, but I believe that's still a pretty fair estimate. I'm sure that if I'm whoafully out of date, someone will set me straight, but I figure the $350 figure as a minimum. Nice score.

Adios,

I'm going to be a little more generous than Pizza Bob. I would say $500 to $600 for a nice condition ivory ring Hoppe from the 1950's.

Thanks for the info guys, Im waiting on more pictures of the cue to figure out what kind of wrap and points are on it.

Original would be a leather wrap, pretty thick, and the usual Titlist points. The joint should be brass. Without the leather wrap, it takes away from the value quite a bit.

Willie Hoppe Value

This cue looks good, with a good decal. I would place value at $500-600 like Tate.
