For sale here is an early 1970's Joss West Merry Widow,made by Bill Stroud,one of the best cue builders EVER.The cue is 57 inches long.The butt weighs,15.5 ozs and the original shaft weighs 4.1 ozs,for a total of 19.6 ozs. The butt is about 98.5% perfect,and the shaft is maybe 99% right down to the original Micarta ferrule. The cue plays great.This is a one owner cue that is a great example of Bill Strouds work.Please PM here or email,batalarms@juno.com Asking $1295.00 (with 2 shafts) plus shipping OBO EXCELLENT overall condition for a cue that is 35-40 years old,or any age for that matter.I think the orig. shaft is over 13mm.The second is app 12.75,I will measure better,(waiting for calipers).I would think that it has Cortland Linen wrap,being from the early 1970's

nice cue that is exactly the same cue as the one i have. want to own 2? just kidding it's funny i have had mine for around 5-6 years didn't really know much about the cue from time to time over the years i would try and look up info about the cue i never really found anything i guess i was not looking hard enough or i was looking in the wrong places. Anyway nice cue and glws (just learned what that meant) i am going to remove mine from the for sale list but i will be watching yours i am interested to see how your sale goes. Good luck and if or when i should say you sell yours if you should find yourself missing it hit me up i have your cue's twin brother almost i think yours is a bit cleaner. take care and it is nice to know a bit of back round info about the cue. have a good day.

PRICE DROP $995.00 with one shaft.To your door.Great player here folks,and a piece of pool history.Here is a pic of Bill Stroud,making this cue?
Just kidding,it looks like he's working on a cue with "windows" in the butt sleeve.I have a few high end cues,this Stroud plays right up there. 2nd best of my little group.
