This is a cue I got at an estate along with a block letter joss. It has a 5/16-18 pin which made me think it was a mali or adam but after I removed the linen which was falling off I see it has a buzz ring which I don't think adam or mali used to attach the forearm to the handle? It has very smooth vaneers. Any help or Offers?

looks to be an early Joss!? first SOLDThanks for all the help
here is the link to the Block Joss

Rings look like a joss west and if i remember right some one said he used 5/16 18 for a real brief time. Someone smarter than me will bring more light to your question. Glws
 
I had a Joss similar to that and it had a 5/16x18 pin. Just to make this a legit thread I'll offer....deleted already outbid....:thumbup:

Unmarked Joss

Probably from when they were making them so fast they couldn't bother with logos. That's a sweet old player. I love the double veneered cue and the red and black looks great. How is the finish on the cue? Would it need refinishing or just the wrap replacement? Is everthing dead straight?

The finish on the cue is great! It only needs a wrap. Everything is straight. Cue is 57 3/4 inches... shaft =29" butt=28 3/4" 12.8mm tip. I don't trust my scale anymore but I would say just under 18oz. I need to sell it, buy now pay later wants some money lol. SOLD

The cue has been confirmed by Bill Stroud through a couple emails with detailed pics I sent him. It's one of his early works. He said it was built between 1968 - 1970. He built it, and Dan Janes did the finish. It's a very early Joss :)

There was a question about the veneers and how they weren't mitered up the middle. The one side cuts off the other. so here is another example that looks the same as this cue. If you look at the close up of where the points meet one veneer cuts off the other
Click to expand...

There are mitered veneers and there are overlapped veneers.
It's a cuemaker preference. I would say that mitered are more
popular. One maker that excusively uses overlap is Jeff Olney
