Identify a Brunswick Cue, Year, and Value

It is a Brunswick cue with 35 inlays, lots of mother of pearl, snooker tip I believe, Irish linen wrap, 2 piece with brass joints.

I am looking to identify the model, the year of manufacture, and the value.

   The wrap is synthetic, not linen, and the bumper has been replaced with an incorrect bumper. This is an Asian import.

   I don't remember the model but the catalog is online. You just have to dig.

   The value of these cues has been inflated as of late. I am not sure why. It is probably because "low end" collectors see that they are Brunswick-branded cues and see the association with things like Titlist, 360, 26 1/2, and other such things, some of which sell in the hundreds or thousands of dollars. But these have nothing to do with authentic Brunswick cues.

   Anyway, I see them hit $150, $200, and even $250 on a good day on eBay.

   IMHO as a serious cue collector it is a $50 pool cue. But it will attract more on eBay.

   They are of low quality, regardless of the number of inlays.

   The cue is a Brunswick "The Imperial" cue from the Brunswick "Professional Series" if I am not mistaken.

   It can be found in both the 1981 and 1982 Brunswick pool cue catalogs.

   The specs say the cue is wrapped with "green and while nylon cord".
