I was happy to be able to bring these two cues together. Danny Gartner was the New Jersey straight pool champion in 1964 and 1965. I owned his Paradise and stumbled upon the Palmer at the SBE 2018. At the time, I think I was one of the few who knew the significance of the cue. I was able to acquire it some time later and had it rewrapped as it was when Danny played with it.
That is a neat story. I love both, but that Paradise buttsleeve is the nuts!
