Has anybody seen this logo before?

Yup. LOA is good too. Nice find on these cues.

For some reason when I drink I don't find cues. Maybe I should drink more?

I wasn't drinking when I found them. I reced over to buy them... Then I just had to shoot with them so I went to the bar... And by the time I started posting on here I was drunk. LOL
 
So the question is??? Any idea on value? I know this is not a pot of gold. They were very plain sticks. Not fancy at all. But I'm just wondering how good I did on them? Paid $900 for the pair. Came with a nice Joss case.
 
Did you folks realize that this page, and some of the links on it are still online?

Just got an email back from Steve Janes. He said absolutely recognizes those sticks. They were not made in the same year. The one is at least 1978 or 1979. The other one that you guys say was probably made by Bill Stroud. Is absolutely before 1975. So even though they were bought on the same day for two brothers. They were not made in 1979/1980.

And he says he'll recreate the logo on the one that's missing. He said he'll do it for free. But I'm going to send him some money anyway if he does it.. Would that hurt the value if Steve recreates the logo on the one that's missing? Or should I leave it as is?

Glad to hear that you got confirmation.
Ironically, I have a similar cue without the JOSS logo.
I haven’t spoken to Stephen yet, but was told that another clue of its maker was the 5/16-18 pin used by JOSS in the early 70’s.

Sooo... I'm getting ready to send this in to Steve Janes to have him put the logo on like he offered to do for free. But some on here say that it's a Bill Stroud. If it were a Bill Stroud, would it be early Joss? Or later Joss West? Based on the photos, someone said it looks like a "Bill Stroud Jester" (whatever that is). I don't have any points of reference. I don't want a Joss logo on it, if it's supposed to be a JW.

Any of you experts on here know what I should do?

What pin does it have? Early Joss cues had 5/16-18 before the settled in on 5/16-14.
