OLD Palmer ID - Ebony Points, Bushka Veneers.

[dirtypool40]

Here's a couple crap-tastic cel phone pics of an older Palmer a guy brought in today. They should be good enough to ID the cue though.

2 shafts, ivory ferrules, approx 12.75mm.

Does not have a Cortland wrap. Other than that, it appears all original.

It's light, I would guess 18.75-19 TOPS.

It hits AMAZING!!! The first thing that springs to mind when I hear that tight, fine *PING* is SZAMBOTI!!!

It has the foil name plate window, and the veneer colors are the classic "Black / Orange / Green / Maple".

It has MOP inlays in the points, but a plain butt.


Questions:

1- What is it (year, model, etc)

2- What's worth.

3- he thinks it's a Szamboti blank, is that possible / probable? I have heard 'Boti did the ebony ones, but hadn't heard about any into maple.

Thanks in advance.

There's a camera feature called "macro" ... It usually looks like a little flower icon when changing the mode from portrait or landscape. It should help a lot with taking more detailed pictures. Overall, it looks like a great looking cue, but can't really see it clearly.

Yeah, the pics of the points aren't bad but the rest is real blurry.

My guess would be a model I from the second catalog (1968).
I'm no expert, I'm just guessing based on info from the Palmercollector website. I think that he is on here as well ( under the name Tate ). I'd contact him if I were you. He seems to be the expert.

Good luck,
Johnny

I looked it over again today, in more detail.

It's in pristine shape, one shaft has an ivory ferrule, the other appears to be aegis or some linen based phenolic, so probably not original.
