Why do you think your cue is 73-75 vintage? I have an identical one with different color veneers that I am pretty sure I bought around 1970. I talked to Bill Stroud about it , and he told me that they only made a few early ones with the 3/8-10 pin, as they found out that McDermott shafts would screw on. I am also pretty sure the joint on mine is ivory, it doesn't look like Micarta. Will post pix of it & my #8 Diamond series soon. They are great cues!

I thought my cue was an early one too but the logo is not from the 68-72 era.
Post some pics please.

I have an old fat butt 1972 JOSS completely refinished by Tim Scruggs with paperwork about 5 years ago and put away in a Fellini case in storage. Cue has an ivory flat faced joint, 3/8-10 stainless steel pin, and ivory ferrule. This cue is in perfect shape. Ebony has nice striping and pics do not do this cue justice.

I also have a pristine 1968 ebony and ivory JOSS, leather wrap, ivory boxes in butt sleeve, and beautiful ebony and green veneers in the forearm. Both cues have paperwork.

Bought this cue back in the early 80's from a classmate. It came with a nice Fellini case. Unfortunately, the original ivory joint cracked. I had it replaced with a stainless joint.

Luckily, I ran into Bill Stroud at the Super Billiards Expo a few years ago. He told me he'd be happy to refurbish the cue for me. The one mistake I made was changing the linen wrap. It originally had a white & green-speckled wrap. I should have left it.
