Palmer Model 16 - My latest pickup.

[Ken_4fun]

Well how many of these bad boys were made?

This is my most recent pickup. This cue has an interesting story as it was ordered out of a pool room in Louisville and the owner played with it until he quit playing pool years later. Sold it to the owners son and I picked it up from him.

Scot Sherbine refinished it, and it still lays in its original case....It was born together and thought they should stay together.

That sounds interesting. I would like to see it.

I bet it looks more modern. I had a guy at the pool room go nuts over this cue..I said it looked like a 62 cadillac with big fins....:grin:

Well I like yours better....maybe its just me.

I think yours has the Szamboti forearm actually. The veneers in my cue are not the same quality as the forearms on Gus Szamboti cues, IMO.

I thought Gus was supposed to make these forearms on this model, but I'm not convinced.

You should have had Scott replace the handle with a piece of ebony....

Ken,
I have never seen that forearm before. I wonder iof they were getting some from whomever was making the PM/PB series of cues. Interesting. I checked my pics and probably the 15-20 J's and 16's we have had were all Boti forearms.

So you are saying that all model 16 were Szamboti? The quality just isnt that good on mine.

I set in next to either Szamboti I have and it is a world of difference, IMO.

No, I am just saying the ones we have had seem to be.

My first love was a palmer cue. Here in new hampshire palmers were the cue of choice with almost anyone who took the game seriously. before i discovered ebay and the vast amount of cues beyond my local area my personal player was the number 20 from the 3rd catalog. ahhhh the memories. thanks for the eye candy guys
oh i have the #16 in its original palmer case bought it 7 or 8 years ago and have yet to hit a ball with it go figure
