Valley Cue ID help

Stickers say Valley cues Inc. Shakopee Minn and H in a diamond. Inlaid dots look like metal, rings are plastic of some sort. The piece of the handle closest to the joint is stripped and off. Obviously needs some work, but somewhat better than the average thrift store find I hope. Any idea as to age and model?

Thanks! From that image it looks like this one might be the 1-678J. Now I just need to do some repair work to fix that separated piece...
 
I am going to guess 1960s and American Made. Not high dollar but a cool find.
 
Not a CM, but I am back on the forums after years away and saw this old post. Some of you now I love cue ID.

Age and model was asked. In the broken condition, the value is probably obvious.

This is a model 1-678J out of the 1972 Valley catalog. The "H" indicates "heavy". In 1973 they merged with Dynamo to become Velley-Dynamo.
