At the beginning of the year I bought the remaining stock of Palmer material from Paul Rubino. All of these are vintage mother of pearl inlays from the Palmer inventory.

Inlays

quoted from the palmercollector:

The genuine oyster mother of pearl inlays were first supplied by H.W. Wild, Inc., in NYC, a supplier to guitar makers, who also carried many parts such as multi colored purfling and marquetry products. This contact gave the Balner’s many imaginative ideas. Eugene Balner carefully laid out the inlays by hand and cut the pockets, while Ilona placed and fit the inlays. By 1967 Palmer was producing sufficient quanities of inlaid cues to order pearl shapes direct from the fabricator in Germany. This gave them the ability to order thicker shapes than the original guitar inlays. This made the task of hand inlaying cues much easier and gave them the cleanest edges available.

the inlays I have are close to 2mm thick and were what were in the Palmer shop when they closed per Paul Rubino
 
Not familiar with H.W. Wild. Vitali Import was the company I bought them from in the mid-70's - they were also suppliers to the stringed-instrument trade. I think they may still exist today, but they're in California now.
