Nice Palmer collection Randy. Rich LaBarbera
Danny Gartner Palmer and Paradise
The Paradise is original. I purchased the Palmer already refinished with an incorrectly shaped replacement butt cap and non-original black wrap. After speaking with the second owner of this cue who bought it from the Gartner family, I was able to determine that the cue was originally wrapped with green speck linen and that the 13.75mm shafts were original to the cue. The case is a modern case and not original to either cue.
Danny Gartner was the 14:1 NJ State champ in 1964-1965 and a contender with the best of his era.

I love all Palmers, well almost all, but I especially appreciate the non-catalog cues and those that are original.
Sbmiited for your approval are a Pre-Third Catalog Model 20 with +200 inlays which needed some rehab in the back-end and a Pre-Second Catalog "Model J" which is 100% Original.

Hi AZ fans. I am thinking of selling my Palmer collection which includes many cues and several original Palmer cases. If anyone has an interest, please pm me. Thanks. You can see most of them on pages 6-9
Mistaken Identity
I thought I was purchasing a third Catalog Model 14. I actually recieved a first catalog Model 5. I have to admit, I'm pleasantly surprised~!!! Enjoy

Naked Model 8
Wrapless Third Catalog Model 8 - Mission Accomplished
This is a project I've been trying to put together, no pun intended, for a couple of years. There exists at least one wrapless Titlist Palmer and at least one other wrapless Model 8 and they are both beautiful cues with their natural woods showing uninterrupted by a wrap.
The problem encountered was that one can't simply turn down a wrapped cue, you need to start with a cue that never had a wrap. I found an otherwise suitable Palmer blank but it had a defect in the form of a crack in the handle. Then I stumbled upon another to use for this cue.
I owned all the other genuine Palmer parts: butt cap, weight bolt, rings, window, foil, etc. as well as the pin, joint and ringwork at the business end.
Paul F. Drexler put it together and made a matching shaft out of his excellent shaft wood and created a beautiful cue.
It may not have been assembled in the Palmer shop but except for the shaft, it was built entirely from Palmer parts.

Looks great. Actually, it looked pretty good before. But the refresh (and possibly a new shaft??) should set you up to start playing. Congratulations. Don't let it sit in a closet. Have fun with it.
Thank you for your comments! No intentions on letting it sit, it is a shooter!
Cheers,
Tony
I love the (2) opposite Gold and Black cues.
