You all have been super helpful helping me identify cues. Usually I can find the cue on Google but I've been struggling with some lately. This one is a Brunswick. I'm curious if anyone can tell me the maker, model and year or any of those. The logo looks like the Joss logo but I think if it was it'd actually say "Made By Joss" under the Brunswick logo. Thanks once again!
Brunswick Cue Identification

This Brunswick was most probably distributed in the 1990s. Often sold in the Pool and Patio Leisure Time stores that had popped up all over the U.S. under various names. There were many retail outlets around the country in the late 90s selling swimming pool, patio furniture, pool tables, spas, etc. and often these Brunswick cues were for sale if they were selling Brunswick tables.
These cues were relatively inexpensive back then, Joss may have been making some, the collar stitching looks like the style used by Viking pool cues for their other branded cues such as Excalibur at that time period. Most of the cues were just "plain Jane" as you see here with no points and few inlays. Minimum worth today- maybe $75 to $100, or so.

Thanks for that!
Thanks! My old Falcon is my favorite cue so that's pretty cool if it's made by Falcon.
I have that cue in a no wrap version, also a grey version of it. Also got the Brunswick/Joss one on the left at the same time.
The red and grey Brunswick's were $20 or $25 bucks ea new at the factory warehouse. The Joss version, I'm not sure of the cost as I was told to pick any cue for free as they had given me the wrong slate for my table, and I had to bring it back for an exchange.
Brunswick used to have a yearly Saturday warehouse clearance sale at their Burlington headquarters, and I bought a table there with the two sticks.
They probably sold over 100 tables that day and pickups were lined up getting them loaded and they put the wrong slate in my truck.
After getting home I realized it and called back, they were closed but the mgr was still there. He was just leaving but asked if I could come back on Sunday and he would come in to exchange them.
After changing out the slates, we were chatting and there were bins of cue sticks by us and he said pick one out for my troubles, so that's how I got the Joss/Brunswick stick for free. Don't remember how much they were selling for the day before, but I think it was about 40 to 50 bucks.
The Joss versions say Joss in really fine print under the Brunswick logo.
