The previous owner's name "Jan Bunce" is tooled on the front, it's a 1x1 with some nice decorative tooling on the lower bout. I really like this case for it's uniqueness, and that I recently scored it off of goodwill for a fair price. It came with a near pristine wrapless Mali too. It will need a little tlc as the stitching is loose on the lid, and I'd like to redo the cloth on the tubes inside the case. Nothing too tough to handle.

Maybe JB can chime in on this one as he is the resident case guru! Any info or ideas are welcome.

Thanks, I've just put in a new interior. The old one was ripped and fairly thin. I went with a soft green tweed type fabric that's a bit thicker than the old black material. The tubes are pvc. Unfortunately, the fit isn't perfect, but it's functional. Also cleaned the leather and applied some oil. Looks a lot better.
 
Never seen one like that before. Appears to be very well made. Anyone that takes the care to do the handle that way cares about comfort and craftsmanship.

You can get a leather patch made to match the case and glue it on over the name if you choose to. Or just let everyone think you're Jan Bunce.... :-)

I like to go really deep into character when I'm out hustling pool on the road. My act may or may not involve a wig and a dress...




Also pics of the new interior. Not as clean as I would prefer. Any tips?
