E.J.Riley snakewood cues

Here are my 6 snakewood cues by Riley . The 3rd one in from the left is shorter than the rest...it's 56" long , and you'll notice that the splices are correspondingly shorter than the rest .. which shows it was factory made at that length, rather than being cut down.One of them has it's letter and number stamped on the base of the butt so since these were apparently commemorative cues after E.Js death in 1925 and the 1928 catalogue shows cues with stamps on the shaft...I'd put it between 26/27.
