Cue case from color of money?
It was made by a guy named McKernan in Seattle. He shot pool at Goldie's on 45th street when he made it. I thought the original edit of TCOM started with a long slow pan of the stick in an open case - I recently rerented it and the opening titles are different.*
Anyway McKernan made tube cases with all the leftovers, he sold a few in the neighborhood @$50. I should've bought 5. The leather handle is the same, velvet interior's from the same bolt, all the brass is the same, and he steamed very thin oak around PVC. The end cap is a compression fit and has the letter M inlaid. Last year a guy in Vegas recognized - he sold some of them in Tennessee back in the '80s.
