Anyone Have an Idea Who She is?

I would say the cue is a Viking. When you blow up the picture you can see the long metal to metal joint like was used on Vikings. I think they called it their super joint.

something like this

Could be. I knew her pretty well back then and she played with a Palmer the entire time I knew her. And those look like pearlized rings to me, but it could be a super joint.

The girl had no waist, and dressed up and acted classy when we were all a bunch of grungy hippies.

Thanks

It's not a Palmer cue.

It's not a Viking cue.

The following information comes directly from Palmer Byrd via a good friend of mine - Palmer said the cue in the photo is a National. She said National Chalk made cues for a while & it was given to her as a gift.

She loved the photo - she has never seen it before.
 
I sent a message to Palmer showing her this thread and asking about the Palmer, if that's what she used. Stay tuned for an update on her cue if I get a response.

Dave,
She was shooting a Palmer at the time, but she did not use it during this event.

That is probably right, I think I still have one of their catalogs around somewhere. If I remember right they were in Georgia and were takes over by Gandy. I just noticed the date above the picture, I was there I used to go to all the Opens in Chicago. I saw her play a number of times.

Absolutely. Madelyn was married to Al, and way younger than him, must have been his baby face that trapped her.

Madelyn lives here in Phoenix, she come in my room with Alton. A few years later I coached her for a while. She went on to win the Women's seniors event in Vegas. She talked about Palmer several times.

Oh my, look at those hips and thighs. Yum. I would spread her on a cracker.

I'd say that's only the 982372306987th time I've made out a National cue to be a Palmer.

Thanks

I'm surprised Baby-Face Al is still around. I have an old buddy who regularly sparred with Al in Detroit, many years ago. He would be absolutely stunned to find out that Al still visits the pool room (although I'm sure he doesn't play much any more).

Al cannot be alive. He was old when I knew him and I was young then and I'm kinda old now.

*using the scientific method*

Thanks

Alton

No he passed years ago. They both come in at first then Al passed away early 90's as I recall.

That's what I was thinking (that Al would be really old, not that you're kinda old now).

Maybe you know my friend from Detroit. His name is Augie "Gus" Giordano. He'll be turning 70 years old soon but still plays strong. Last time I played him, a couple of weeks ago, he clobbered me in One-Pocket. It was a humbling experience. I'm sure he hasn't been in Detroit for possibly 40 years.

(didn't mean to hijack the thread but since we have confirmed the gal pictured is Palmer, I figured no one would mind)
 
Palmer....what an interesting and wonderful name..
..very unusual as a first name for a female.

The name dates back to the Crusades and maybe even longer.
It denotes someone who had been to the Holy Land and returned with
a palm leaf.

..hardly pool related but I figure some serious readers, like Todd Riley, might
find it interesting.

I've been to the Holy Lands, but I didn't come back with anything except some trinkets. :) The Vatican was prettier anyway.
