Kirbie 1x2 Cue Case

[HereWeGo]

I was very fortunate to have this case gifted to me today. I don't know much about Kirbie but it is my understanding he was an active member of the pool scene up here in the PNW. This case is very well made and has lots of old school character and won't even fit a newer cue with a radial pin (The Tascarella fits like a glove :wink. I love the finger loop for easy carry. I am very lucky to have friends that know I cherish these little pieces of history. Enjoy the pics.

If anyone knows more about Kirbie please feel free to share. Thank you.

Very cool!

It looks like the leather has stood up well. I am always sad to see old cases suffering from degraded leather.

I don't know anything much about Kirbie but hopefully somebody will chime is and I'll learn something.

As a case collector I'll say that's a treasure.

Thanks for showing off! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

That's a sweet case. Hard to find handmade cases like that!

I found a similar handmade case at goodwill a while back and I love it. Throw some oil on that sucker and make sure the stitching is tight.

That is a very nice and well-made case.
