Dear duggan261,
Jerry NEVER worked with or for Janes, a COA claiming Jerry did work with Janes or made this cue isn't worth the paper it's written on.
Try asking Janes if Jerry worked with him or in his shop.
IIRC Scruggs, Stroud and perhaps Frey worked in the Janes shop in the early days.
(message sent to the person listing the early JOSS)
Obviously Franklin didn't work on the cue, but it is an early Joss, probably Dan Janes and Bill Stroud. This one, looking at the joint collars, may have even been before Tim Scruggs was a part of Joss.
I see some hopefuls quickly wanting to diss the price, but I'm not so sure. Appears to be original Cortland linen wrap, and a piece of early Joss history. Those simple box joint collars were used on their earliest cues, along with plain black collars, so this one is early. I wasn't aware that Joss used nickel silver for joints, and I find it amazing that the seller would even know this, without knowing that Franklin had nothing to do with Joss.
My one observation would be that the rubber bumper appears to have been replaced at some point.
Whatever, this one is pretty interesting, and I wouldn't be surprised if it gets close to the asking price.
All the best,
WW

It's Cortland wrap for certain. It's early Joss for certain and it will sell for about 850.
The documentation makes him look unaware and over eager. Anybody looking to buy it must already know where it was made and what time period. If they know that, they can determine who likely made it...Stroud cue imo.

Look at ideo's pic to see what real Cortland looks like.
