Don't know who made this case, maybe someone will recognize it, no label. Nice leather 1x2 vintage case, somewhat road worn, scuffed on the bottom. A little TLC could restore this case to excellent condition. A name plate was installed in the case. It could be easily removed and replaced. $300+$15 shipped in the US.

Case

Case is just how I received it. Should have cleaned it up a bit before taking pictures. The cue is a South West that came with the case. Make offer, need to sell this one or the Brunswick style case I have listed.
 
Thanks!

Thanks Nick for your input. Could well be a old Schon case. The person I got the case from had a Runde/Schon cue as well as the SW I bought. Will clean the case and post a couple of better pictures soon. Not sure who would have made the cases for Schon at the time.
 
Better!

Cleaned and lightly oiled the case, looks about 200% better. Had the idea to remove the name plate and replace it with some green felt to resemble a pool table. It should look really cool and unique. PM me if interested. I may decide to keep it if not sold soon.

Case?

If all fellini cases had a latch, we can rule that one out, don't really know. Took more pictures since cleaning the case, looks much nicer. Will add them to this post soon. Evidently the latch was removed, so Fellini not out of the question.

Better Now!

Here are a couple of pictures of the case after cleaning and the pool table partially completed! Case has that slightly road worn vintage look, but is very sound and looks good with the light refurbish.

IMHO this appears to be a Fellini or Gore that has had the latch removed at one time or another. The work on the ends looks just like theirs, it'd be interesting to see a comparison of the end buttons to a Fellini or Gore. I don't happen to have any on hand right now... I've had a lot of Fellinis and only one Gore has passed through my hands.

The latch of course would have been in the area where the nameplate was and now has the green felt. I would assume that perhaps the latch was damaged or something similar, and someone put the name plate on to cover the latch holes. This would also explain maybe why the label was missing, in removing the latch it may have got damaged or something. Again, just a hunch.....

Thanks!

Great eye you have. When I took the name plate off I noticed two small holes on case and lid. Never thought anything of it. I just checked again and your right the latch must have been removed. I would agree, most likely a Fellini. Someone is going to get a great deal here, not going to raise the price at this point. Case stays closed nicely without the latch. Thanks much!
 
Free Case

Case is free if you buy the Southwest cue, I will throw it in. Cue is listed on eBay right now. Will sell it here minus the commissions.
 
Selling!

This case sells today on Ebay. Now is the time if you want it. Good sound case. Used to store my finest cues in.
