What is missing from this old cue ?

[cuefan6969]

I bought this cue at an estate sale and was trying bring it back to original condition. I have been looking for a photo that would show me what cue this actually is and what is missing from the butt cap. Can anyone help ?

Probably a piece of mother of pearl (but, maybe ivory) inscribed with the original owner's name or some presentation note.

Google "brunswick wedge cue" or "brunswick trophy cue" for more ideas.

Probably missing the ivory nameplate and a shaft
Maybe a model 26 1/2, made prior to 1939

Just a guess, I don't know much about the Brunswick cues prior to Herman Rambow's creation of the Titlist in 1939.

That cue would make a great conversion I think, depending on how fat and straight it is.
