Thanks, I love the balance also, just ever so slightly forward, when I decided to put it away as a keepsake the only other cue I could find that was close was a Balabushka Limited Edition 3, so I mostly play with that now, but still take out the Palmer every once in a while.:grin-square:
Nice score! Beautiful cue:thumbup:
Palmer
I haven't had these out in a while. They have been in storage collecting dust. There are a few from catalogs 1-3. Thinking about adding e few more. Although these are not for sale I thought some would enjoy seeing them. I was asked why I didn't put these in order so I decided to oblige. Some of them are personalized. I will list the names on the cues. Top cue is a Meucci.
1ST CATALOG:
#1
#5 - Larry Beane
#6 - Fast Eddie
#9 - Pete Leggeri//with gold trim
#10 - Willie Zago
#11
2ND CATALOG:

Beautiful stuff.
Thanks to everyone for adding pics of their Palmers. It's really interesting to see other Palmer owners collections.
I will try to post some pics of mine in the next few days. I ordered a Palmer Model B back in 1975 ($65.00) which I still own and still use.
Wouldn't it be interesting to have a Palmer meeting.
Your Model J is very nice. I love the all original/unrestored cues. I also like the ones that are personalized.
The Model 11 is also very nice.
I really need (need is probably the wrong word) a Model J. I missed-out on one earlier in the year at a bargain price.
Along with my appreciation for the high end Palmers, I have a strong interest in the bar cue conversions with Dacron wraps.
Thanks again to everyone for sharing.

3rd Catalog Model 7
This is a 3rd Catalog Model 7 I acquired a couple of years ago and at a time when my interests were limited to 2nd Catalog Palmers. But.........
I bought it because it came along cheap. The price was low because some prior owner laid a thick overspray of varnish/poly (probably from a spray can)
on the entire butt and forearm but It was a cue with a very solid hit. I played with it for a couple of years before having it refinished by Paul Drexler of PFD Studios.
I have a number of Palmers that are personalized and I am more desirous of those with players names on the foil. For me, it gives the stick more meaning
even if I don't know a thing about the original owner. It means the cue was special ordered and more than just one of the thousands off the rack.

Swimming Pool Cues
I am admittedly a sucker for anything Aqua, Sea Foam Green, Turquoise, whatever. I am also attracted to the odd color Palmers, so the cues in this group are out-of-the-park for me.
From left to right, they consist of a post 3rd Catalog model from the Eighties, two Brunswick Customs, 2nd Catalog Model G, 2nd Catalog Model E, two 2nd Catalog Model B's, 2nd Catalog Model A produced in the Eighties with the Oval Palmer label, Another 2nd Catalog Model A, an NOS 1st Catalog Model 8, and finally a 1st Catalog Model 1.
The silver and green Model A was a most pleasant purchase through Joe Van Buren of classiccues.com and a few others were formerly part of Chris Tate's collection.
The green and black Model B was acquired through a local AZ member from an owner right in my own hometown, proving that while some things are 3,000 miles away, others are only an arms-length from home. Unfortunately, another driver ran into him on his way to our meeting.
I have been fortunate that, knock-on-wood, I have had very nice experiences in my transactions with the former owners of these cues.

20 and Counting
In a land long ago and far away, I dreamed of owning one of the famed Model 20 Palmers, the model that people either love or hate, appreciate or dismiss, or in my case, either can or can't afford.
The latter being the case, at least at the time, I embarked on having one made. It was a long build time and as time went on, the market for Palmers softened and prices dropped bringing a real Model 20 down into my range of affordability. Getting my hands on a real 20 aided in an accurate build of the Tribute 20.
So what we have here is a pair of "Model 20's" or more accurately, not really as one is a pretender. I turned the personalized foil on the real Palmer away from the camera, just for jollies. The faux 20 has genuine Palmer foil but is not embossed in any way and I would never ever insert a real or reproduction foil in that window. We don't do those things around here. Besides, I like the cue for what it is: a Model 20 Tribute.
