GTF "LOVABLE HUG" CASES


This is what GTF says about their cases: "GTF extrusion built cases are the best vacuum sealed protection offered today. Your cue investment is perfectly matched to an interior of moisture resistant, fully lined protection that is foam backed to last a lifetime. No other extrusion built cue case equals the GTF 'Lovable Hug' ... Whether a player, hobbyist or avid collector, G.T.F. Designs provide the ultimate in cue protection. Your cue investment is perfectly matched to an interior of moisture resistant, fully lined protection that is foam backed to last a lifetime."

Here's what Recollection Cues says. "These are very nice cases for the price. The exteriors are well-done, and the interiors are perhaps the best of any case on the market, regardless of price. The fit and the quality of the interior material is outstanding. The "suction fit" of the tops is very well-designed and functional. These cases provide good protection, tremendous value and good looks.

2x4
SIDE HANDLE, SHOULDER STRAP
6" AND 16" SIDE POUCHES

The Replica cases are made like old Fellini cases, with wrapped leather ends. It takes a lot of labor to do the hand wrapped ends, and this is why there is a difference in cost, with the Replicas being higher.

This video gives a little insight about the creation of the GTF Cases. This style of case goes back to the 40's and probably beyond. Bob Hemphil popularized it with his Fellini cases in the 70's. John Barton was asked to make a version and GTF is the result!.

No items found! Out Of Stock! Sold Out! (at least for the 2X4 plain Black Nappa Leather Cases, there are some gaudy colored ones left in the 1X2's I think. But they look goofy. This is the highly sought after sleek Black Fellini Replica!

Last Day! Some questions some have asked during auction:

Last Day! Some questions some have asked during auction:

There are No Rips, Dents or Tears, there maybe very tiny scuff marks but nothing you can see by looking at it. It still looks shiny and new and I have taken very good care of it.
To stop the "Blueing" on the inside. I try and wipe the majority of chalk off my Shaft before inserting, but inevitable I would get some chalk marks, so what I did (and will send it with the case is I bought an over sized Pipe Cleaner from a hobby shop and once or twice a month I would clean out each hole) One thing to always remember is the Butt must go in 1st, then the shafts go in last, and taking it out, the shafts come out first, then the butt. This will avoid any scraping of shafts on the Butt Joint.
It will also fit 30 & 31 " Shafts and Butts, All my shafts are 30"'s and I use Schon Joint Protectors on everything and this is no problem, you can actually feel the vacuum seal cap when going on and off as good as it was the day I bought it.
Thanks and good luck!
