As I understand it, this is a post Stroud Joss (Danny Janes cue). The "J" is block print rather than itallic. Years ago, when I mistakenly listed a Dan Janes Joss as a Stroud/Janes cue, Bill identified this method to tell them apart.
Here is an example of the slightly angled "J" in the Joss name of a different cue.
I have seen your cue for sale at billiardcue.com Dick Abbott had it or one similar for sale at one time. Gorgeous Joss!

That is one FINE LOOKING CUE.............
WOW, that looks so very much like the one I had!! Very same design, mine had different color inlaid rings in the butt plate, bluish green, IIRC.
Is that from the Joss Diamond Series? Nice cue.

Beautiful cue! Ivory ferrueles?
There was no "series" when mine was made. Joss Cues LTD was not in existence at that time, they were not mass producing cues then. Dan hand built mine after talking to me on the phone about it.
Very nice looking cues.
What year was that?
Sorry, I've tried to remember. I'm guessing '76-'78. I started playing seriously in 1975 so it would have been within a year or two of then I think. I don't think it was 1978 but I'm not sure, it's been too long.
I know it was after Tim Scruggs left and according to the Blue Book, which I just looked at, he left in '78. Tim told me the cue was made after he left.
I've only bought two cues, both Meuccis, out of a catalog or brochure. I've only bought two custom cues from individuals. All the other customs I've owned, including the Joss, Tim Scruggs, two Southwests, and a Murray Tucker were all bought direct from the cue maker.
