Looks like an old Joss, not sure which one. That would be my guess.
josswest
looks to me like an old josswest, that the butt cap was replaced, my buddy has a josswest that he bought from stroud in the early 70's it looks identical except one veener is red in it, his butt cap was ivory with the jw, looks like the jw was cut in with an exacto knife.identical jointwork as well. jim

nope. The buttsleeve is different. Plus a Ivory 3/8 10 joint and the rings are different. No check rings in buttsleeve. Plus the Viking is a ebony colored sleeve. Meaning plastic. This is a ebony wood sleeve. I dont believe a Viking. PLUS where is the logo. I would guess early Joss with a non matching shaft.

National
The tip and bumper don't look like anything I have seen from Joss West but they do remind me of a National cue I saw a few years ago. I agree that the ringwork sure looks like JW.

I have a 1968 & 1972 Joss with similar ringwork and ivory joint with the big 3/8-10 pin, but the rubber bumper is wrong. And, it only has 2 veneers, more like the Viking Troy aka KOINKID referred to, IMHO this is not a Joss. I can post pics tomorrow to compare with.

Here are the pics to compare.

This is 1968 with ivory box work. Look at the bumper also.
Hope this helps.

yes, it has been reworked some, but it is an OLD JW.

Easy to tell
72 and earlier Joss cues will have chaist 3/8-10 threads on the joint pin that they fabricated for the ivory joint cues up until 74 roughly.
JW and newer Joss cues still in the 70's cues will have regular threads on the 3/8-10 pins that were purchased from Mcdermott cues if I rember right.

I would bet it's not a Joss or JW. If you look at the white rings on the joint, you can see that they are to white. During this period, both Joss and JW used a white ring that was an off white, sort of opaque looking. Those veneers also look to bulky.

Maybe there was a shifty cue design thief on the loose back in the mid to late 70s....lol. I agree with Dick somewhat. Some things look very similar but the prong does indeed look odd, that's for sure. Never seen those chunky veneers on a JW, they look kind of Huebler-esque from that period. May be some kind of bastard cue. Spanky, you might try getting these pics to Bill to confirm.
