Josswest on ebay?????????

[jacobyguy]

This cue is listed as a Josswest and has the J and sideways W however it just doesnt seem right. Never seen a JW with an 18 pin for one and the stitch ring justs dont seem right for the sideways W era. any opinions

I believe Greg (Howardthedick here on AZ ) is Hillibilliards. He's an upstanding
member here, and he knows what he's talking about. Whatever he posts, is
legit, and unless he actually made a mistake, is good info. You should send
him a PM if you're interested in the cue.

That being said, I have heard of the really early Bill Stroud cues to have
a 5/16-18 pin. Hope this helps.

18 Thread

Yep, that is my cue. I've had more Josswests over the years than I would even care to remember and I believe that about 90% of them were 18 thread. As a matter of fact, I'd say that the ones with the sideways W were All 18 Threads. But I'm not totally sure about that. Hope this helps clear things up.

Pin Size

Hey Guys, I found out something interesting about JW pins. I went right to the source and PM'd Bill Stroud and here's what he said about the 18 thread. "
When I first started JW in Aspen I made a few cues with the 5/16-18 pin".
That is copied and pasted. So, I was wrong about the pins all being 18 thread, but this kind of clears things up. So this Josswest must really be an oldie.
Thanks,
Greg

I own an early Merry Widow JW that has a 5/16-18 pin, 2 original shafts. It's been in the family since new.

Bill would use the pin you preferred if you ordered from him , In 1974 I ordered a 4 point 4 veneer with 5/16x 14 pin with SS joint and Bushka style rings, and I had another that I ordered in 78 with a 3/8x10 pin with the flat faced Ivory joint and veneered stitch rings that I had stolen back in 98 . I seen the cue that is FS on E-Bay and it looks correct to me . GLWS It's a fine looking Old School JW .:thumbup:

Who made the new shaft? How old is it? How heavy are the shafts?
