PWD, I like that hard case. Any details?
Kind of a funny story. Goes way back.
Back then, I was dating my now wife, we'd enter local
bar tourneys once in a while for socializing & fun.
A buddy hit me up, saying I HAD to buy this cue and case for
$125 because "it's the best in the world and I need to buy two
to get this price."
I almost said no, because $125 was a heck of a lot of money for
a 2 piece cue back then. But, I relented, gave my friend the money.
Some weeks later, he dropped the cue & case off.
Soon after that, life got too busy for pool. Running a biz, raising a kid, etc. took most of my time.
So our cues (Cindy still has her old Adams from that time)
just got placed in a closet and forgotten about.
Fast forward a few decades...retired from biz,
kid grown up & gone, Cindy & I decided to play again.
Uncasing the old Palmer caused quite a stir.
Didn't take me long to figure out I needed to buy something else to play with.
Now that I've visited Tate's site, I'm pretty sure the case is not an
original Palmer case. But my name is also on the case lid, printed in
some kind of gold leaf.
The Palmer is a fun conversation piece.
I do break it out & play with it from time to time.
But really, my Josey is a much better playing cue...
