Willie Hoppe Weight Stamp??

[ProZack]

Can someone Tell me More about the Stamp? I can tell by the Signature and Sticker it's 1940's.

Just wanting to Learn.

Nobody????????

Yes there are a few here that know. They will be here soon. I think the stamp was only used for the early Brunswicks.

It says 20 OZ.

Lol, i think it's pre-war. Ideologist should know more, I sold him one a while back.

Small batch order stamp, used for pool halls or dealers that would order a handful of cues at once. They got the fancy stamp. Very old, they stopped this system very early on.

Ha, forgot, I had one in my avatar. 22 is the big kid size. 20 for BRW is probably uncored, nice cue.

Chris, (Tate), will likely see this Thread and tell you the years that they were stamped like this, if that is what you are wanting to know, re the History and such.

Not so much years as cues with this stamp were distributed in batches to pool halls and bowling alleys for large orders, I suppose to be differentiated between those sold through retailers and dealers. I've mostly seen them on one piece cues in sets. The sets I've seen have been 1930's and 1940's cues.

We can tell the years on the Hoppe's (approximately) by decal and forearm signature, sometimes joint material or if they have an ivory butt ring or not.
