I was lucky to be giving this cue by a lady friend who told me this was a custom-made cue from the Bay area her deceased male friend had purchased a few years before his death. On the logo, there were two names of the place from where it was purchased when I received it. But they have since worn off and I cannot remember the names. The cue has 3 shafts. One is of larger diameter and 28 1/8" in length. The two other shafts are 30 3/4" in length and of smaller diameter. It came in this vintage Brunswick Leather case to me. Is this a Brunswick custom cue???
Thanks for the help. THE INTERIOR IS GREEN!!! Don't know where I got red from.

The joint collar and the ring along with the pin look like Brunswick parts. The label, I have seen before but its been a long time and will have to check my pictures on my hard drive to see if I can ID it.
 
Yes this is the leather version with the plush interior, a fantastic vintage case.

The vinyl case is junk, in comparison

Rich used the same parts for a while too, as well as that black ring above the buttcap

I think that one is the good one with the buckle. They made one later with a snap that was not leather.

The case you see is the Lord Brunswick case. It was the higher end case- should have a green and not a red interior. it was all genuine leather exterior. I own this case is pure mint original condition, not for sale, but rare in mint condition. The thicker leather carrying handle with the brass ends is one of the identifying signs. Somewhere on the case is stamped " Genuine leather" - often that will be faded or worn off.

Offering $200 for the case at it appears here is very generous - it appears to have many surface scuffs and we have not seen the interior. Most of them are ripped, stained, smokey, and sometimes completely missing.

Thanks. It has a pristine red interior and brass ends on the handle. The stamped "Genuine Leather" is in mint condition.

The label sure looks like the old Brunswick logo.

Well then, with a pristine interior, red was not very common on these, usually green, and if the outer leather is in great shape then $200 is a good price- that is what I paid for mine a few years ago. anyone who appreciates 1960/70 era cues needs to own one of these cases and the Lord brunswick should be the first choice, as seen here.:)

Greetings from Crescent City, Fl. Thanks, for the info. The case has a few scuffs but is overall in 80% condition. You are correct... It has a green interior. Don't know why I thought it was red!!! It also has the original leather name and addresses tag attached to the handle.

I do not having pictures of that label. The cue reminds me of cues that Cornhusker Billiard supply sold in the early 80's.
If I remember they were sold as National cues. I think this cue is earlier then that time frame.
The cue would be a nice addition to most collections:cool:
 
Yes, I was sure fairly those interiors on the Lord Brunswick case were always green. The leather on those cases is super thick- well made. I am thinking that may be an early AMF cue, but I could be wrong.
