Oh gee didn't mean to ruffle your feathers there Joe. Just setting the record straight on the BRAND name. You see just because YOU call the cases made by Nora Van Horn "Flowers" cases doesn't mean that this is the proper BRAND name. Just as it wouldn't be right to call a Palmer cue a Balner cue because it as made by Eugene Balner.
The BRAND name is J.EF. Q Cases. Nora Van Horn put that on each case she made along with her maker's mark. Jay Flowers did not sign the cases.
Jay Flowers also did not MAKE the cases. He had them made. So when Mark sent his leather to have it made into a case it is likely that Nora Van Horn made it if the case was made before 1994.
I don't know why you are being a jerk about it. Well, I take that back, I do know why. Because you're a jerk. In person you are decent enough but online you're a jerk. It's ok, that seems to be how a lot of people are on the net.
In any event you have a very nice J.EF Q Case for sale. It's unique and well preserved. I hope you sell it. The one I own which came to me from the late Smorgasbored, Doug Wiley, was purchased by Doug directly from Jay Flowers in Tampa. I don't know if Nora Van Horn made it or not but it definitely was made for Jay as it has his name on it and in any case I don't know why you even bring it up because it's not for sale and likely never will be.
Feel free to jump into my threads. Whenever you do it will simply bump the thread by allowing me to shoot down your bigotry and lies. And the added bonus is that your online jerk character will be on full display. Would you like me to make it easy for you and list several recent threads you can start with? You know it must really burn your ass to know that my six year olds can make such great cases. And they do it standing on their heads.
Good luck with the sale Joe. I am sure that the J.EF Q Case you have will find a good home. Best of luck to you in life as well and I look forward to seeing you again next year at the SBE.
