I recently purchased a older cue and case . Not sure what I have. Could you check these pictures out and share your thoughts. This is a suede case, popular in the 60-70 era, again I'm not sure. It has some markings similar to a Balabushka. The leather wrap for instance that he put on per customer request and some other markings on butt and shaft. I did not buy this for collectors item, just wanted to start back playing again. I had sold my Meccui that I played with for thirty years, but had some of sons friends that wanted me teach them to play, so I bought this cue, I'm 79 to old to invest in expensive cues, as we say down south, just piddling. Thanks in advance for your time.
