Brunswick Willie Hoppe Titlist Cue with Black Rectangle Logo

I have this Brunswick Willie Hoppe cue with a black rectangular logo on the butt, but can't find any info about it. I would like to know which model this is and what the value is.

I see some Brunswick Willie Hoppe cues online but they have a different label on the butt sleeve.

Thank you very much.

I confess I am not an expert on the details of the production history of the Willie Hoppe cues, but this is one of the later cues possibly after they outsourced production. Schmelke was a manufacturer for a period and later, Brunswick contracted with Adam.

Titlists were made in the thousands and in nice condition generally sell for $250-$350. The most common wood used was rosewood, so examples made with rarer woods (oak, padauk, ebony, etc.) command higher prices.

My notes date this to the 1960s based on the logo style.

Unfortunately, I don't have a catalog image to back that, nor could I locate one in the Brunswick archives. I'm always on the lookout so if I come across some marketing materials with this cue, I'll share it here.
