Restored Old Viking Palm from the W & Champion Line

[HereWeGo]

This may be my new favorite old cue in my little group. Look at those long points. I was going to replace the original window and foil but decided to keep the originals even though they aren't perfect. I was also going to change the wrap to leather but went with black linen as that's what it had originally. I am pretty positive the bumper isn't original but it's what was on it when I got it.

The window has the name Tony Puccio if anyone has any knowledge of him. The butt is dead straight while the shaft isn't as fortunate. I am probably going to steal the original super joint assembly and have a new shaft made out of old stock.

Very cool old Viking. I like the black linen on it.

I think you are right about the bumper, not original.


Don't know Tony Puccio, but I know a Puccio family back in my old neighborhood.

Can you tell me what city or area the cue came from? Never know, might be able to chase it down. I searched tournaments as well as obituaries and am not narrowing it down any.

Old school "tuxedo" cue, before there was even such a term. Nice nostalgic cue.

All the best,
