Great offering. I’m familiar with this cue and its original owner. Seymour was a friend of my father and an interesting man. The butt stock inlays were patterned after a Balabushka Bill Stroud owned prior to forming Joss with Dan Janes. They used that unusual shaft wood on a number of their first cues until they couldn’t source it anymore. GLWYS.

Open to trades up, down or even if anyone has interest.

This is a great example of work from 2 hall of fame cue makers Bill Stroud and Dan Janes- these early cues were know for their high quality and hit and helped put them both on the map, this is the same era of Balabushkas and early Ginacues. These early cues so underrated and under valued.

I have a refinished Joss West with 3 shafts, 5/16×14 steel joint. Pin straight all the way around. The Tascarella shop did the refinishing superbly. I'd trade it for yours because I prefer a big pin. I've been trying to find a JossWest or Scruggs with a big pin and a white joint old school look. I can send pics if you're interested. Please advise where to send them if interested. Thanks...Dante
