Old Joss Cue pictures

[shamadam]

I too would like to see some pictures of cues from the 68 to 72 era. Think I just bought one. Would like to confirm.

This might fit the bill Rod.

Does any one remember what the name Joss stands for? It was a saying in there old catalogs. Some thing about it being Chinesse? Just wondering?

joss (n.)

"Chinese figure of a deity," 1711, from Chinese Pidgin English, from Javanese dejos, a word formed 16c. from Portuguese deus "god," from Latin deus (see Zeus). Colloquially, it came to mean "luck." Joss-stick "Chinese incense" first recorded 1831.

In the book, "Noble House", by James Clavell, it is used quite often. The book has its setting in Hong Kong. If you read his book "Shogun", you'll like "Noble House".

I had a 95-10 cue a while back and I think that cue was in the same catalog
