Josswest - Westinghouse Ferrelles

[Ken_4fun]

Guys -

Maybe the repair guys will know or the cuemakers. I like Josswest cues and I just picked up an old 68-72 cue that has Westinghouse ferrelles.

I have owned about 5-7 of these old cues and this is a first for me, and a first that BOTH shafts have Westinghouse ferrelles.

I normally play with ivory ferrelles. The old yellow ferrelles play differently than ivory.

My question, are these original? Any thoughts on them? They sure are yellow!

I'm definatly not an expert on those, but I do know a cleaning of the ferrule and then a good close up picture may be a good thing to do in order for someone to answer your question correctly.

I think the only one who could answer this question honestly would be Bill Stroud, Micarta definately plays different than ivory, I use to play with ivory, then I tried a real micarta ferrule, never going back if I can help it.

I mailed the cue to Scot at Proficient for a complete refinish, but here are some pictures of cue...
