Try contacting Joss.
I believe late 60's into the 70's.
You could even try searching Google for
Joss block letter cues.

Post a picture of the logo or the cue, the details are pretty distinct between the eras. Stroud engraved very differently from Danny or Timmy or Bob or Danny again

This is a bit of a dated comparison but should help at least define a smaller era.

Thanks for all great response. Here is a picture. Seems kind of tiny. Bumper is brown. Also full Cue picture. 57" cue. Love how these old cues play.

Recently told this is a 1968. Will let go for $1395.

Even more reason to post it where it belongs.

18 thread. Cue rolls nice and straight assembled. Plays great, just hit a few with it. Will do $1295 this week only, then it's gone.

My 1994 Joss has nothing on the Butt cap and has gold lettering on the joint collars.

Price drop $1295.

Price drop $1295.

Might want to list it in the for sale section.

What would make a 55 year old cue value $1295?
Seems a bit high. I’m sure that cue did not cost that when new.
Is it a great playing cue that cues of today cannot match or is it a collector cue that is a good investment?

I have a ‘68 Joss…turned down 3 Gs for it years ago

From that picture I would say its a 70's Joss. I have one just like it but with a hoppe ring. See my avatar

I sent Dan Janes pics of my block letter and he responded within hours with his thoughts about the specific year based on the overall design of the cue.

If it's 18 thread, it's likely a very early Joss, before they went to 14 thread for steel joints. But more pictures would help.

That's a super early cue, 1969ish

The implex rings and the 18 pin say late 60s
