Looks to have been made in the 90s, judging by the logo. Purchased recently, just looking for approximate value. Had it for a little under a week, but honestly, the spreads I’m getting with the phenolic tip are better than what I’ve been getting with my Joss Thor Hammer.
Approximate value on old Joss j/b

Wood shafted jump/ break, Joss nameplate, maybe $200 to $350 would be my guess - could be on either end of this range. Only the Joss name saves this from being just a used $125 J/B near extinction due to the wood shaft- from what I am seeing out there. Folks who want a lower cost J/B wood shaft experience can get a decent brand new Players J/B for $150 online including shipping.
Thanks. Was hoping someone with more Joss knowledge would have dropped in.
Biggest thing here is the neat factor for someone that likes Joss cues, would be worth about what a normal break/jump cue from a good maker would be. Like any cue, price it at what you want, if it does not sell, lower the price. I would not go over $250 for this even if I had several Joss cues I used and wanted something to match.
Thanks. I got sucked into a bidding war on eBay for this, and my ego ended up in me paying more than I should have. I’m almost suspicious the owner was bidding using an alt account.oh well. I have so many Joss cues already, it’s added to the collection. Great breaker, though.
Yep, so you may be a good person to have it, you like Joss cues, and this one is a rare bird. I actually just swapped from a $300 PureX jump/break to a Cuetec one that was left at a pool hall I snagged free. Had to swap the tip to a White Diamond and now I really like how that thing hits, now I'm debating if I want to sell the one I used or keep it because it's still a good one. Having multiple break and jump cues is a bit silly though I think, unless like in your case it comes out being part of a theme or a set.
