Neiman Marcus
I was thinking about that Neiman Marcus Ruby Josswest.
Does anyone remember Bill Stroud's Ivory Handle Cue with the Rubies in a
Rob Report Magazine??
That cue was for sale at Neiman Marcus, if I remember correctly..
Will, do you remember that article about Bill's Ruby Cue?

Will, I'm sure you have the Smithsonian magazine. I sent it to you after we talked at the Santa Fe show.

Bill built functional art, he thought out off the box, and built unique Cues.
Hi Jerry,
Good to hear from you!
Yes, I still have the Smithsonian mag, in fact I own two
of the cues pictured.
Thanks again!

The Sultan Cue
Yep, that’s it! Magnificent!
Thanks for sharing the wonderful pictures.
Do you know which issue this was?
Will Prout
I thought it went overseas at the time.
Sorry, fuzzy memory.
The cue was gorgeous.

Did Bill ever say how many cues he built? I seem to see a lot more of the older 70's Era logo for sale. I would assume he made less later in his career because the artistry was so high and detailed. I also wonder if he did his own cabischons.
This cue was bought in 1974 and of course made in Colorado Springs. It is number 6 in the brochure and described as Ebony veneer, large inlays. It listed for $285. I added a couple of options, the ivory joint, ivory ferrules, and extra length. This cue is 60 inches long. I bought a couple of extra shafts over the years and the butt was re-wrapped by Bill at least two times. Like its owner, this cue is high mileage. When I was in the shop and Bill would hit a ball with this cue, he would smile from ear to ear.
Sorry you are gone....

Bill's Best?
Hello Forum/Guys..
The Sultan Cue..
Thanks for posting.
I knew it had a name something like that..
I kept thinking the "King of Persia" theme, but,
I knew it had a different name from The Meucci Jim Rempe Tribute. :frown:
Here is, what I thought was one of Bill's best works.
I saw this Josswest in the STAN HAYNES Collection,at the 2012 SBE.
In hand, it is one magnificent piece of art.
Jamie was selling this cue.
Thanks for viewing..

A Few More Josswest Cues
Here are some pictures of a few more Josswest cues in my collection.
All are Josswest cues except the second cue from the left, a McDaniel Kling cue.
I will post some more pictures of additional cues later.

That Ebony with Ivory Boxes..
There is one in Hawaii.
I saw it in the late 90's.
It had a replaced Butt Cap.

I heard the story that one of two brother's ( Bing and Freddy?) that owned Diamond Cue, Had the White Ivory Model. ( They owned Kaimuki Cue , too. )
Was left on the Pool Table and someone walked out with it..
