Not sure of the age of this case, but it looks to be vintage leather in excellent, possibly never used condition. Bought the case to store some of my nicer cues in, but have not done so yet. I wanted to offer it here briefly in this pristine condition. The leather shoulder strap is very heavy duty, and the rest of the case is excellent, right down to the brass burnished hardware. Selling for $150+$15 shipping by priority mail in the US.

Cue case

Mr. Rodcar,
If my memory serves me correctly, I do believe that the outer fabric on this case, is actually Bolivian Goat Udder Skin, which is normally blessed by 3 Priests and 1 Rabi, for a minimum of 3 full moons. After the skinning process, the hide would be smoked over a pile of used car tires for 4.5 days, then hung in the sun to ferment, the only tanning process they had at the time. After the hides were cured, the female clansfolk would chew, or gum off the remaining hair, woodticks, or any other foreign matter.
The locals have always claimed that no goats were hurt, or killed during this process. Must be one hell of a road rash, wow.
These are virtually impossible to find in this day and age. This type case was originally used to smuggle poppy seeds out of the homeland, this occurred mostly during the 60's and early 70's, thus no chalk residue found in your case..
As always, good luck with the sale. Just figured a little more knowledge couldn't hurt your chances.

Thanks Champ!

Your link didn't work, but I have no reason to question your knowledge on the subject. Your knowledge as always is astounding in such matters. Hope you get out of the hospital soon. That was quite a blow to the noggin you took. I'm sure you will be back on the horse again soon.
Make offer on this case or PM me with any questions. Just bought two new cases for storage, so this one can go anytime.
Take care Champ.
 
Make Offer!

Will consider no wrap cues in trade. Mainly looking for Buss, Joey, MasonH, Fisher, Diveney, Murrell, Jim Lee, Richard Hsu. Let me know what you have.
 
New!

This case is apparently new old stock from the 90's I'm told. Case is not heavy, but lighter than most of this style. This one is just a beauty.
 
Classy Case

The brown stitching on this case really gives this it a special appeal. Case is like new condition. Last post for awhile on this one, considering keeping it.
 
Beauty!

It's just like new, no dings, scratches, etc. Awesome case!

Case!

This one won't work for you. Will not hold 60" cues. The Instroke cowboy 2x3 I have will hold them nicely though. It's a super nice case in great condition as well. Hope that helps.
