Any Idea who made this case?

I'm guessing it's an original Jay Flowers case, based on the design and the interior and the age. Probably a good 20 years old. He made 'em tough, just like him. :smile:

I don't know who made it but one thing I can almost guarantee, its not a Flowers or a Porper.

It's not that old either.....the stamp used on this case (F926D by Craftool) first came out in 1997 or 1998. Could be somthing done in Mexico. Just a guess

Could be, I remember Sergio bringing a lot of these style cases up from TJ about 8-10 years ago.
 
I don't think it's a porper because of the construction of the interior. The pocket doesn't look like flowers or justis. But then, the question was who made the case? not who didn't. good luck. Kinda tough lookin for sure.
 
One of my Jay Flowers the 1x2 has no mark The 2x4 has JEF under the handle on the body of the case I would say his early ones no mark Newer ones Marked like the early cue makers Ron
 
this case is for sale...but im not sure how to price it...so i am accepting offers now...send me a offer if u r interested...

Um yeah I think we are all paying attention to everyone's opinion. Jack's call on the tools used was brilliant and on Mexico was probably spot on. This looks like a case patterned after a Jay Flowers in construction with some originality thrown in. If they came from Tijuana then I can see where Joe Porper got the idea for the pockets he used on his.
