My 1970s Joss pix, finally

[Bamacues]

Here is an early Joss cue that I picked up from a local friend. Very nice cue. I am undecided as to leave original or refinish...see condition remarks below. Overall, for a 40 year-old cue, it is remarkable...plays great.

Joe,
Nice cue!

Pretty Sporty!! If you can save the Cortland do the refinish if not keep on playing with it

Dayam! That's a nice cue.

I wouldn't even consider refinishing it.

It can only original once...you can NEVER get that back. Have a pro go over it carefully to clean it up properly and then just love the cue. They can probably make the small battle scars disappear and/or minimize them. That's what I think anyway.

Joe, I wouldn't touch anything on this cue...leave it as it is and play the hell out of it.

As you full well know (as does every other cue addict on here), nothing is permanent.
