hello all, i just bought a cue which i believe to be a palmer or frank paradise, anyone know who is an authority on these????? thanks jeff (GUNMAN)
 
Post the pics.. I'll take a look. Post close ups of the joint and joint screw. Butt plate, butt area. Basically the whole cue but you'll have to show close ups of those areas.

But if its a letter you want, Paul Rubino is your guy. Not so much important if its a catalog Palmer, but if its a Paradise, you'll want the letter.

I Dont Know How To Post Pics On This Site , Thanks For The Responses Jeff(gunman)
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the easiest way to load the pics is to create a free account at www.photobucket.com and load the pics there. you don't have to worry about the size on that site, they can be as large as you have on your computer. then when you want to insert them into a post on az, click on the little icon that look like this:

and cut and past the direct link of the picture you want from photobucket into the dialog box and click ok. very important, then take your cursor at the end of the line that appears in your post (after the last ]) and hit return. you can preview it to make sure it works.

TATE (The PalmerCollector) knows as much about Palmers as you will find.

He is very helpful. You can pm (private message) him. His handle here is TATE. Good luck.
 
I know it's not a catalog Palmer. I don't actually think it's Palmer or Paradise. The buttcap/bumper/bolt is wrong for any Palmer I've ever seen. The pin isn't Paradise either. What do you think Chris (when you see this), maybe Fedunka?

steve, i was thinking fedunka also when i saw the shiny metal below the pearl ring on the shafts. but fedunka usually put metal on the collet below that fits into the joint. and the way the bumper goes right into wood looks odd also.

Just a thought on the veneers. They are stacked,not mitered,so I would think import.
 
Guy, that bumper going into the wood is throwing me, too!

HEH, you might be on to something as the pin sure looks Adamish...

Steve
 
steve, when i saw the wood it made me think of a repair, almost like the butt cap had been replaced and the dowel made to hold it. tate wil know!!

Guy,

It could be a repair. The buttcap doesn't look like Palmer or Paradise "MOP". Doesn't look like Atlas or the aftermarket replacements I've seen in the past either. Like HEH said, the veneers aren't mitered either, which still smacks of import. A true mystery. Calling the Tate Cavalry :D !

I Sent Tate The Pics And He Said It Isnt Palmer Or Paradise, He Also Was Uncertain.....gunman

The Buttcap MOP reminds me of Viking.
 
HEH,

I think you're on to something! The forearm is exactly like the old Viking X225 (early '70's). The buttcap is Viking also. I bet it was something Gordon made early on, or it had the butt section replaced by Viking...
