can anyone tell what who they think may have made this case? its made similar to and its george but it has no name on it. the lid has a button fastener on it. it has 1 attaced pocket and nice strap. its like a beige/golden color lizard print leather. very nice looking case. ive had a few suggestions and am leaning towards that its a thomas case...that seems to be the most common thought. but i am wanting to see what az thinks and possibly what it may be worth or if anyone wants to buy it make me an offer. it is a 1 butt and 1 shaft. you can get 2 shafts but its tight so i say only 1. thanks

Yes its a Ron Thomas. I have one exacly like it.
It should be signed inside the top of the lid.
Its tan ostrich embossed leather.

Definetly a Thomas, thought it was my old one when I first saw it. Mine was identical and was not signed anywhere either.
 
thanks for all the replies and help guys. anyone have suggestion on a value of it if i decide to sell it?
 
I don't think Ron ever made a 1X1 case. If you look closely, there is another divider on the right side to make the interior split into three sections. The idea is to put the cue in where the joint collars for the two shafts and and the joint are facing the same direction, i.e. tips down, joint up, or shaft collars down, joint down. They fit nice and snug, but not tight that way. You do need to watch how you take them out depending upon how you put them in.

Ron did make 1B/1S as I have one signed by Ron that I happened to have with me at valley forge a few years back. He said it was some of his early work and that he did not make alot of 1b/1s. I would think it would be worth $150.00-$200.00 to the right person because it's ostrich. It does look to be a 1b/2s, I thought it looked a bit wider then my 1b/1s.
