Wood Handlebars

Just picked these up. Obviously early, but when were these used? Also looking for an approximate value. I remember a couple years back when a few popped up on the bay and sold in the $200 range if I'm remembering correctly. Does that seem about right? Maybe a bit high or low? I'm also wondering if anyone would happen to know what manufacturer these would go to or maybe they aren't that specific. I know that's a long shot but you never know. Thanks in advance!

A set came on my 1898 Acme king (sears) they were optional, steel was standard. Also offered in 1900 catalogue, possibly later...

Seen more often on ladies bikes. These are most likely made of hickory?

$200 sound more than fair if a guy is looking for these.......
