Looking to sell a Palmer Original

Well, you have heard the story before about somebody finding a rare collectable in their attic. An older lady who lives close to me recently began to clean out her husband's old belongings and found a cue that she thought wasn't worth much, and that I might want to use. I have not seen the cue yet, but plan on checking it out in the next few days, and posting pics on the net. What she did tell me is that her husband bought it back in late 60's to early 70's, and used it a few times, before he put it away for good. She had been cleaning recently and found it again, and thought I might want it. She could use some money, and I told her that it might be worth more than the $10 she almost sold it for, so I would help her try to get some much needed money out of it. Not trying to make any money off of the cue sale, but would like to help an nice old lady out.
I will post pics in the next week, and let me know what you think of the cue, or the history behind the model#, design, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And I am sorry to say, that was the only pool cue her husband owned, so NO szamboti or Bushka in the attic.

Can't wait to see the cue.

Thanks,

Michael
 
be a big person and give here 60% of the money you get, the 40% is yours for just posting a few pix, I'm sure she could use the $
 
thanks for all the interest

I hopefully will get the cue in my hands on Wednesday, gonna be out of town for a couple days, so probably post pics on Thursday. Thanks for all the interest, and just to let you all know, I am only taking a 15% cut on the sale(and that depends on the sale price). Selling for her, and you are right, she can use the money, and I do not plan on stealing from her, otherwise I could have bought the cue for $50 when she asked. So I will be looking for a fair price, and accepting a fair price.

Just not sure what model and what condition, because I truly haven't seen it in person yet. Just know it is a Palmer with the silver foil in clear window, and no personal initials or name. And it does have points. So we will all be surprised when I get it in my hands, and truly check out the quality and model. I hope it turns out to be a nice one, for her sake. But all signs say it will be. So thanks for your patience, and I will get the pics posted, ASAP.

however, it may only be worth $10 because I would guess after all those years up in an attic(unless temperature controlled) it probably resembles a boomerang...
 
It's a big "all depends". My grandfather's Paradise Titlist conversion sat in my parents non-climate controlled attic in northern NJ for almost 10 years after he passed away and the only thing wrong with it was the shaft was slightly warped.

Had it refinished and a new shaft made a few years ago and it plays like a champ.
