Refurbish Brunswick Billiards by George 2x4 case?

I have a Brunswick Billiards by George 2x4 hard case. Unfortunately, the leather wrap and pouch/pocket are pretty rough. What are my options for refurbishing the case, either DIY or by having someone else do the work? The biggest issue is that someone's monogrammed name tooled into the leather has been ground/sanded off. The pouch leather is noticeably in need of conditioning (which I know how to do), but it's the sanded front panel that has always bothered me. I know I could hide it with wax shoe polish, but the resulting glossy finish wouldn't be very durable.

Aside from a misplaced key, the case is completely functional, and offers pretty good protection. Is it worth refurbishing? Is it worth selling? I don't have an immediate use for the case. All of my cues and shafts fit in my 3x7 Instroke case. I just get tired of seeing the Brunswick case in my closet in its current condition.

My apologies if this is an inappropriate forum for my question. I looked for an "Ask the Case Maker" forum, but
I didn't find one! :LOL:

The cost of repairs
would be more than it worth. Just add decals to the sanded area or sand the whole case rough. Leave its weather beaten, as is! You still get a good price, if you sold the case, as is. You could do a trade also.

Have a local leather craftman, cut a piece of leather and carve your name or saying and glue to the sanded area.
Sample

or something like this:

Pool Ball Collecting.

Thank you for reviving this topic, hunger strike. I'm eager to learn more about these balls. I think most assumptions that they're from the 1890's are based on the book that Hard Knock Cues kindly attached. I have not found a lot of other information. I have attached a shot of the cue to show the cracking pattern. To me, the material suggests it is earlier than the 1950's but I can't be certain. They seem much older to me.

Figured BEM handle, on a Players PureX pool cue. Real, or Fake / Decal / Graphic Overlay?

You do not understand. People here are laughing at me, and making fun of me. I am just very angry.

I do not like being laughed at.

Just find it very hard to believe that the entire cue is one big Decal, like people are saying.

The veneers innthe points, for example, look so real, and are flawed, and uneven.

A Decal would look flawless, and perfect.

From what I have seen, when an old cue gets dinged up, the paint from decals chip off..

I do not see that, with the many dings that are in this old used pool cue.

Lol, I just hate the idea of Decals. Sounds like something that would only be done with cues that are Garbage quality.

But lol, even Predator uses Decals in their veneers, from what I read. So, I don't know.

Just bored, lol..

You said you got it cheap. It's not likely to bring much (if any) profit, regardless.
If it makes you mad and you aren't planning to keep & play it, just throw that bad boy under a radial arm saw and find your truth.
If you're right, you can crow about it. If not, you can remain silent. Problem solved.
