Original by Palmer

Shizzle-rific
Well, I have got the cue and will be posting pics tonight after work. It is in very good shape. It is a cue conversion ( bar-cue style 4 points) with the Palmer window and "original by Palmer" stamp. Looks like a model A or B in the 2nd catalog, or a model 5 in the 3rd catalog with green rings and the window with the silver leaf. It has two 1/2" green rings above the window and a white joint with one shaft. The shaft is in great condition, just one slight "nick" and the cue butt is also in great condition. There is slight lifting of the "silver leaf after the original by Palmer stamp and slight discolorization of the silver rings between the two green rings. Other than those minor flaws, the cue is in great condition for being over 20 years old. It rolls straight together and apart. I am not even sure what the value on this cue is, but will post pics tonight for all of you. Let me know what your opinion is on the cue.
It is for sale, and the lady who owns it is fixing her kitchen and is spending money out of pocket, so she is looking for cash. Doesn't play pool but is in the process of remodeling, and can use any extra money to go towards that project.

BTW, she also gave me an older Mali purchased around the same time that I will also post for sale. Not even sure what it is worth, but like I said, she wants a new kitchen and can use any money that she can get. Just trying to help a nice lady out.

Thanks for all of the interest, and will have the pics up later tonight. Thanks for your patience.

thanx michael, looking forward to the pics. do you have any idea how much she wants for the cues?

Value?

She is just asking for a fair price, because I am not too knowledgeable on the Palmer or the Mali, and she certainly is not. But she is looking for a cash deal that will put more money in her pocket towards the home remodeling project. It is on a shoestring, and any bit will help. I actually have a few friends that are helping her out for free on a lot of the work. Nice lady, and she deserves all the help she can get. That is why I didn't feel right taking advantage of her, and will not be getting a dime on the sale/sales. All of the money will go to her.

Here's a perspective on value: She was first offered $50, before I saw it, and almost took it. I picked it up and brought it to pool league and was offered $300 for it. So that is the value I have been offered, but not sure if it is fair market value on this Palmer. Anybody got some honest opinions, know there are a lot more people who know about the Palmer and the Mali than myself.

Thanks,

Michael

Description sounds a lot like a Model B...Tate can tell you for sure when you post pics. Here are some pics of my old Model B.

Honestly, these cues have been bringing a premium on Ebay lately.

Here are the palmer pics

Here are the Palmer pics.
Slight scratch on one of the points is another damage I found when taking pics. And the joint brass has slight disclorization. Just wanted everyone to know.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the interest,

So let me know what you think.

Looking for offers, interest, and info on the value of these two cues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael
 
I think you are correct

It does look very much like a Model B second Catalog. Thanks for the help. It is in great condition, and I know she would be happy with less than the price on the one you added the link to. that one had a $1,100 price tag, and she would sell for less, I am sure.

Thanks,

Michael

If anyone is interested, PM an Offer and I will ask her.
 
good price

Realistic sale price would be somewhere between $250 and $500, depending on straighness and condition. Perhaps $550-$750 for an exceptional piece.
 
Bump For Offers?

Anybody want an excellent Palmer with one shaft, or an old Mali? PM me with offers.

Thanks,

Michael

very true
i have had a dozen of these cues and i have a hard time getting more than 500$. there are really only a handfull of palmers that get a good amount. the only one i havent had is model k.
 
final bump

Well, guess there is not much interest, so if nobody shows interest in the next 3 days, I will be putting it back in the lady's attic for another 30 years.

Thanks,

PM sent........ Thanks.

Well I got a palmer for sale.

My lady friend decided she needed the money, so I bought it from her for $375. I would sell for $400 shipped to the first person who is interested in it, just to get my money back out of it. Too many bills, and not enough dollars. PM or reply with any interest.

Thanks,

Michael
