Hey all, a couple of joystick questions for you.  I picked these up in a lot recently and both are unusual in a way. 
 

Where is the white one from?   I’ve never seen one that is essentially an Atari stick,  but has the Joystick metal plate on top.

 

On both of these, there is a topper of some sort.   I THINK it’s homemade but not positive.  It seems to be porcelain like bathroom tile.  You think this was just added by the owner to cushion the top of the stick?   Anyone seen one like this?

Hey, Bill.  I think you're right in thinking that the topper is homemade.  Atari Compendium has the following information and picture relating to the white joystick:

 

(manufacturer unknown) Joy Stick

Another blatant ripoff of Atari's standard joystick, which looks identical to the Commodore VIC-20 joystick except for having a sticker that says "JOY STICK".
