Here's a pic I just took of an old Viking I have laying under my computer desk.

cueaddicts said: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.
Sean,
I took that plug out of buttcap. It looks as if it wasnt original becasue it was cut up and formed to fit. I placed this rubber bumper from a White. It fit perfectly. It is the standard bumper on Whites, Szambotis, tascarellas, and JW's.. Looks right now. huh..

Your joint is sleeved over the wood as you can see the wood by the pin.
This one is solid Ivory. no wood near pin.. Plus look at the pin on the viking. Its different than this cues pin.
This joint and pin are the same as the old JOSS pic..Threads to top and solid Ivory.

I owned the old Joss with the ebony rear!
So did Mike! Scenario has it now I believe. You can never be sure about old cues until they are in your hands. That is a fact. The cue could be a Horn too only because the execution of the blocks is a little primative in my eyes. The butt cap's delrin looks newer.

I have never seen a Joss or JW that had only 2 veneers. This isn't their style. It's made by someone else IMHO.

old presplit joss
i have a cue similar to spanky981's - 3/8x10 solid ivory joint except mine has a solid ebony butt-no inlays. cortland wrap- white with green specks. look carefully(read painstakingly slow) just below the junction of the buttcap and buttsleeve. mine has joss scratched on it not stamped- freehanded. easy to miss if you are not careful. both the original shafts match the joint rings on the butt. oh yeah my joint is split as well as spanky981's. bummer! 20 degree weather in a car and when the guy remembers it in the morning he runs, get it, and puts it in a warm house.CRACK! i still bought the cue anyway. edit:: mine has the chunky veneer as wellspanky981 said:
