Michael-Hoang said:Hello Everyone,
After a long period of waiting, The very first ever 2nd Generation "It's George" leather cases have arrived. Handmade by Mike Roberts himself with the help of his son, Mike Jr. A whole truckload of exactly 8 cases that left the door of Mike's shop, 6 in size 2x4 and 2 in size 3x6.
I will be taking pictures of these cases and will post them here soon. Then I will send a PM to everyone on the list.
I will try to answer all questions after posting the pictures.
Sincerely,
Michael.

These 8 cases come with a key, 2 pockets ( 8 inch long top, and 18 inch long bottom ==> long enough for a jump cue handle), Leather handle, Leather Shoulder Strap, Leather Shoulder Pad, etc.

Jeff said:Is it the camera or are the latches crooked on a few of the cases.
Has to be an optical thing with the picture.
P.S. I'm number 5 but I bet the 3x6's are gone by my choice.![]()

Michael-Hoang said:Some of the latches/locks are slightly off. When I took the pictures, I made a mistake of not pushing the top down hard enough (Being Brand New, some of them are very air-tight). So, it looked much worse than what it is. My fault.
Also, It has been many, many, many years since Mr. Roberts made his last case. These being his first cases made again, it is normal that he is a little rusty.
The "It's George" logo is at the top. If you guys have any inputs, please send them my way. Any inputs/feedbacks are appreciated.
Thank you,
Michael.

Also, It has been many, many, many years since Mr. Roberts made his last case. These being his first cases made again, it is to be expected that he is off his game a little. But hey, most of the early works from cuemakers/casemakers are sought after by collectors, and they are not perfect.![]()
I still have an early Instroke case made by John back in the old, old days.
