Unknown Joss Cue Model ID and Value
I inherited a Joss cue and have no idea what the worth may be. I am looking to value it and identify it's model, etc.
It shoots a great game for me at least and has two small nicks on it. Otherwise is in great shape and always has been in a custom made cue case.
All I know is that it was owned by a millionaire and was custom made by Joss. It does not match any models.
The only thing I’ve come across is on YouTube someone showing a similar design saying it’s custom made by Dan Janes.
If you could help me out it would be appreciated as I only shoot pool as a casual non competitive player.

From what I can see it a Joss model from the mid-to-late 1980s.
Here is one that has the same design on the butt sleeve, but it has points in the forearm and yours doesn't.
I believe it was selling for somewhere betwen $500 and $700, but can't recall the exact amount.
This model below was in the 1988 Joss catalog:

Hey thanks a bunch for the info, it helped a lot and the value/age was what I thought. It’s possible the point was replaced or custom possibly.
Is their a link out there for a late 80s catalog of Joes cues? Do you happen to know the model number?
I’d like to backup my asking price when selling it.
FYI I asked Joss about age and value and they or Dan Janes replied to not know.
Ty for any more info...

The one in the photo I posted was simply labelled "#18, 1988 catalog", but I don't have a copy of the actual 1988 Joss cue catalog to cross reference it with.
Does your cue have a JOSS logo on the white butt cap? I don't believe they did in that era. Just the one near the joint collar.

Thanks for the info.
There is no Joss logo on the butt.
