I'm still looking to move this 70's Joss. Yes, it is unmarked. I've done everything in my power and everyone's help on here to authenticate it . However, the contacts I was given led me nowhere. I own a poolroom in Baton Rouge and Mike Johnson (maker of Jensen cues) is a regular in my establishment. He is willing to put his 30+ year reputation on the line to verbally authenticate this cue if someone is interested. I'm looking to sell the cue outright for $1,350 or take a trade of equal or greater value. Its a 3 point with an Ivry joint in perfect condition with Ivry ferrules on both shafts. The butt weighs 15.2 oz. The original shaft is 29.5", 11.9 mm and weighs 3.8 oz. The shaft built by Mike Johnson weighs 4.4 oz., is 13 mm and is 30' long.
Tough market to move this Joss

Why Not Send Email To Dan Janes? (I Know Why Not)
Hello, The normal recourse in this situation of trying to identify the cue as being a Joss should be to forward an email with pics to DanJanes, at Joss. I realize, however, that you may have already tried this, without success. Mr. Janes reply would be, "I can build you one just like it, for $ xyz dollars." I know this because I tried to get the model number of a late 80's, gold-lettered Joss, and that was his exact reply. On a good note, he still makes a very nice cue, and the Joss website has an archives section which is very resourceful. Regards, Glen (strum4u)

I'm 90% sure it is a early 70s JOSS. It is possibly a JW but most of the time the JW logo is not lost. Sometimes the year & name is on the handle under the wrap. If the wrap is not original it may be beneficial to get a new wrap & check. I'm sure you hate to do it but....
It is a Joss, not a JW.
