AE Schmidt case-1958

[bogey54311]

AE Schmidt case- was in their 1958 catalog.
was the exact case paul newman used in the "hustler",
not a brunswick like everyone thinks.
one of the first tooled cases i believe.
been looking for years to find one this nice.

sorry the pics took so long hunter and tate......here ya go.

took some better pics.

enjoy.

"I don't try to hustle people who walk into pool rooms with leather satchels, don't try to hustle me."

Now that is a great piece of pool history.

I wonder if they built the Brunswick cases too? As you pointed out, Dr. Wu's has a Brunswick label.

By the way, his website doesn't seem to be running now...

lucky i stole his pics then.....

yeah, his says brunswick. very odd.
i think it's possible his tag might not be original.
if the case was made in the early/mid 50's, they were still BBC, not just brunswick.
that logo is a later logo.
i could be wrong.

Being from the St. Louis area originally, I grew up playing on A.E. Schmidt tables. Great tables, especially the old commercial 4'x8's.
