A friend of mine, hearing that I had sold a couple of items on eBay, asked me to help him sell an old cue stick. It's a one-piece cue that has a label on the butt saying, "Willie Hoppe Titlist Snooker." The label also says, "Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co." The cue has a "Willie
Hoppe" signature and is stampted with a "14" which I presume is its weight. The closest I can find in the Blue Book of Pool Cues (second editon) is a Level 3 "Willie Hoppe Titlist" made between 1912 and 1929. But that listing is for a pool cue, not a snooker cue. I'd guess
the condition of the cue at 70%-75%. I'd hate to put my friends cue on eBay with no reserve price and have it go for $50 when we should have gotten $350! Any help will be sincerely appreciated.
