JOSS CATALOGS
- Thread starter Matt_24
- Start date
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.

Not sure if these are in the gallery already. I got these from Stephen.

What year did the server fiasco occur?
Does the server still exist?
Has there been any consideration given to trying to recover the list data?
Improvements in data recovery have come, and continue to travel, light years.

You might ask Steve at Joss about the last two questions. I'm not sure about the first.

Very cool thread, but it does bring a little pain to my heart. I had an N14 back in '91. It got stolen in 2003.

Thanks!
Some of these are not JOSS made cues. Falcon made some of them. If it doesn't say JOSS and has a 18thread pin its a Falcon made cue.
Only the ones I stated are Joss are Joss, as stated in the catalog.
