anyone know the case maker?
meucci? viking? its george? faloney?
i'm not sure about anything with the case, no label, nothing imprinted.
i dont even know if it's u.s.a.?
 
I want to say Ron Thomas by the look of the latch. Hard to tell with angles you show though.

in my dreams :thumbup:
the exposed rivets right off the bat says' junk!
i dont know if the outer layer is paper product, vynnil or composition leather?
i picked it up cheap and figure parts alone are worth 40 bucks.
planing to redo it, but would like to get top and bottom end caps.
where to order those? :)

I would say old Viking. Is the case real slim like any cue fits pretty tight?

I don't know what you mean, are Ron's rivet not exposed? I only have one Thomas and it doesn't have the front latch so I don't know what the inside of the lid looks like and I ma too lazy too look for a picture.

I do think that the latch could also be a Viking as someone else said.

You cannot order endcaps for this case. Best is to make them from wood. Find rough cut with a jig saw and get busy with a file and sandpaper or find a buddy with a scrollsaw or a jigsaw to cut it for you. If they have a router with a 1/4" flush molding bit then you can save a lot of time. We make them from laminated leather.

This is laminated veneers. Rough cut prototype I did about four years ago.

Here is a video of me working the leather endcaps.
