EDIT 7/10/2017: Case has been identified as a Viking Tiger Deluxe. I found it in a Viking catalog dated 1972 on the Viking web site. I still believe it was made by Fine Brothers. Also seen here in an undated catalog: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?p=5921708&posted=1#post5921708
Snagged this case on Fleabay. I just could not pass up the pimped out shagadelic lining! Plus I could see it was a well made case likely from the sixties. Turns out the case is in amazing condition. Even smells new inside and does not have chalk stains. It has slight depressions where you can see it held a cue. But I don't think it was ever even opened much. The little white marks you see in one of the pictures came right off. Case is an easy 9/10 or better. A little patina on the hardware.
Anybody have any idea of the brand/maker? It does look like Fine Brothers may have made it. They used those latches and hinges on Palmer cases. The feet and handle are different though. The vinyl is tucked in the corners like we see on Fine Brothers cases. Yes, the interior does look original on close inspection. It does not seem to be a modification or addition.
I am beginning to think I need a room with green shag carpet to properly display my collections. LOL!
