I hope you all enjoy the catalogs I posted. I have the originals of nearly all of them. The ones I don't have originals of are the Nick Varner ones....Kind members like Matt_24 have shared them with me. The Earl Strickland one I scraped off of the internet.
I don't profess to be an expert on Joss Cues. I have a lot of them in my collection. (Greater than 25 cues) I need to lay them all out and do a group picture. 90% are pre 1987 and earlier. (Block Letter and White Letter) The newest Joss Cue I have, I ordered from Dan and Stephen at the Super Billiards Expo in 2012. It was from their "Handmade" line. It is a basic cue. 5 points with Veneers. Curly maple forearm stained dark brown Ebony Butt and points. Ivory joint. Derlin Buttcap No Inlays 60" length. Truly a beautiful cue in my eyes. About as classic as you can get in my opinion.
I continue to learn about them and hope you find the catalogs I posted helpful.

This is really spectacular. When Joss lost their archive with the server snafu it really was a disaster. I had neglected to save all that. I had intended to, but I guess took it for granted it would be there.
I wish I had a substantial Joss collection. I have a few. I almost bought another block letter a few months ago and regret not pulling the trigger.
My Sigel Joss homage is almost done. Steve said he's aiming for next week. If I can't play straight pool as good as Sigel once I have it, at least I will look cool. Well...the cue will look cool.
