Flea Market Case

[Chopdoc]

Anybody know much about these cases? Not a custom, but still a nice leather 3x6 to find for cheap. I have seen the black Bentleys like this in the forums but never one in this color. It looks brown in the pics when it is actually more of a burgundy.

It looks like a dent in the case but it's not really, the lighting just exaggerated the contours.

It's in really nice shape, not a single sign of a chalk mark inside it. It looks like it just has shelf wear more than anything. It still had the original key tied to the handle and the jump butt sleeve in the pocket.

I'm happy with it. :smile:

Can you show a pic of the name plate ?

I know everything about those cases, I was debating on letting loose with valuable information on them and decided to give you a break.

They are designed to carry two piece cue sticks. This usual species will hold 3 butts and 6 shafts. They are usualy burgandy in color and often have a key attached to the carry strap. What makes this type case so unique is if you take a picture of it it appears to change color and will give the impression it has a dent in it.

Glad I could be of some help bringing clousure to this for you.

Maybe tonight or tomorrow. I'm getting ready to head out the door.


It's just the standard Bentley name plate.

I have that one in black. Great case. Used it for 10 years and it still looks great. Watch out for the bottom plate. Sometimes they pop off from too much wear and weight. I had a shoe repair guy fix mine, and I still like it.

The same cases were also sold under the Vincitore name a few years back.

Ditto info.

 

[Chopdoc]

Thanks guys, I was just curious. I didn't know they were branded Vincitore.

I did find some old catalog pics and prices from 2007.

I wasn't exactly looking for a case, but I couldn't pass it up.

The same cases were also sold under the Vincitore name a few years back. I've seen one in black but otherwise identical. Hope that helps Doc.

I'm 99.999% sure it's a Bentley

Yes, it's a Bentley. :smile:

OK, OK....I wasn't asking the brand guys...it says Bentley right on it after all. Just wondering about them, that's all.

It was a great deal but a spontaneous decision so I was just curious to know a little more about what I had bought. :smile:

I went through the forums and it seems people have been happy with them. It seems to be a decent case and I am happy with it. I used it last night.

Yep, Doc had made it clear that his is a Bentley. All I was saying is the same cases were branded as Vincitore also.

...if he'd rather it be a Vincitore, I could help with that

Hmmmmm

I wonder....somwhere there is a case without the name plate.....

We'll probably see it posted here for ID!

If it is authenticated as a Bentley, then you probably got a good deal.
It looks like a nice case.

Well, I thought it was authenticated...then I see there are loose name plates floating around...

OMG! It could be a cheap Chines counterfeit of a cheap Chinese case!!!!!
