While I am not selling the cue pictured below, I am hoping that the knowledgeable cue collectors will help me solve my little quandry. The first concerns the Palmer custom cue I purchased in the mid 80's. I have never seen another like it and am wondering if anyone knows the model, history, estimated worth, etc. Keep in mind that the cue was made with a 14.5 mm european tapered shaft (worn down to 14mm after 18 years of play).
The second question i have concerns the second cue in the pictures. Other than shaft taper it is identical to my Palmer right down to the nylon wrap. It begs the question "What is going on here?" Is the second cue a copy of the Palmer or vice versa. And does anyone know the makers mark on the second cue. I have asked around alot and received no answers.
Thanks for any input anybody out there may have.
