There's a book out there that has every cue of value listed. Best to find someone who has a copy. Cue repair shot and or seller. What ever you do don't restore. It's worth more as is.

Seems an old cue? How old is it?

Willie passed, September 17, 1993 (aged 80). Could have been during his prime. Mosconi retired from tournament play in 1966 but remained active in promoting the game. He was affiliation with Brunswick.
Nice older Willie Hoppe cue in about 90% condition. 12mm shaft and weight is 19.5 ounces. Highly collectible. http://welovepool.com/pool-cues/collectible-pool-cues/brunswick-willie-hoppe/

Just home from the pool hall. Romine's High Pockets. Talked to a collector and the first thing he said the market is way down. He sold his Willie Mosconi cue last year for $800. Leather wrap and beat up. His comment regarding your cue was that it would not be worth much money. He said more but it doesn't pertain to your cue.

I suspect you have a "wall hanger" there.
I never had the privilege of seeing Willie play live but plenty of archival footage abounds. Being the hustler he was, getting $$$ for sticking his name on anything to do with pool, would be no surprise.
The color, quality of the joint and cracked butt protector are like nothing Willie would have used. But that doesn't mean he didn't lend his name to the stick for a royalty check...
