Here is an absolutely beautiful Original by Palmer, first catalog Model 9 cue built from a Titlist cue. This cue was just fully restored by Cory Barnhart, and it looks better now than it ever has. You just won't find a nicer Palmer out there, and this one comes with 2 Palmer shafts...one appears to have the old yellow micarta ferrule (could be the old bakelite, but it looks like micarta). One of the two shafts has the slightest of a taper roll (very minor) and the other one and butt are dead straight. This cue is really "old school" in that it does not have a bumper, just a nice, shiny weight bolt. This cue plays fantastic, too.

Specifications:
-Butt: 16.7oz, 28 5/8", 0.810"
-Shaft 1: 4.1oz, 28 1/2", 12.4mm, micarta ferrule, unsure of tip
-Shaft 2: 3.7oz, 28 1/2", 12,5mm, unsure of ferrule/tip
-5/16x18 piloted stainless steel joint
-White pearl joint collars with double black rings
-Straight grain maple forearm
-Titlist conversion points, very nice color, maybe 1/4" of total variance between point heights...not much at all
-White with green specks irish linen wrap
-Typical Palmer butt sleeve of silver, black and clear acrylic rings
-Silver foil under the acrylic with Original by Palmer and the original owner's name, Tom Ballew
-Translucent white bakelite butt cap with polished weight bolt, no bumper
