No markings under the lid. That was the first thing I looked for. The old pool shop that closed a few years ago would get Ron’s cases in regularly and with custom modifications all the time, so I would make sense that I would find an older one locally. I still kick myself, he had an old snake skin one, I can’t recall what type of snake, for cheap, maybe $300 if I recall. It was before I knew much about he market. I went back a week later to buy it and he said a collector back east bought it. I miss Billiards N Bagels. He had everything from Dufferins to SW’s, Richard Blacks, lots of Runde’s, Perry Weston ebony and silver cues, all sorts of cool stuff you never see at a brick and mortar.
Side note, I cleaned the leather but what is the best way touch up the worn spots? Brown shoe polish?
