bulletCondition:
bulletThis is in very nice shape for a cue of this age with a few dents and dings in the butt of this cue (nothing penetrating the finish). The imperfections are quite hard to see due to the highly figured Birdseye and could be easily removed if the buyer were to have the cue refinished.
bulletThe original shaft shows some bluing but is in excellent shape.
bulletComments:
bulletI candidly don't know much about Palmers and while I'm sure they made lots of this particular style of cue (pretty low-end Palmer probably made for the "average" player at the time), I've never seen another one like it for sale (maybe I'm just not looking close enough) :-)
bulletAvailability:
bulletCurrently for Sale @ $350.00 USD -- SOLD
