My JB History Case

[Cicerone88]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to show off my JB History 2x4. Ordered in late October and arrived this week.

I’ve always loved The Hustler, and always wanted a case just like Fast Eddies. After winning a tournament with a sizeable purse, I decided it was time to finally pull the trigger on my dream case. I ordered it in a dark chestnut brown leather, with dark green interior, and brass buckle/rivets. I also wanted the case to be as close to the original AE Schmidt/Brunswick expert case as possible, and asked for a matching fixed-in-place luggage handle over the riveted handle that usually comes with the history case. The team at JB did an excellent job, and I couldn’t be happier with it. It’ll be the last case I ever buy, and it was well worth the wait.

Cheers,

Gorgeous case! So clean and classy. I've seen a few of those from JB over the years and it's probably my favorite case design of his. Congrats!

Sorry to hear that. I private messaged them on Facebook to get a quote, and then was given a link to their website to purchase. Was a smooth transaction the entire time. Shoutout to Eli at JB cases he was great answering all my emails and responded quickly.

I have a 3x5 and its worn. I will take a brush to it and some polish and it looks great. I love it but its heavy.

What is the weight fully loaded in yours?

Just a terrific case! The best that I have ever seen to copy the original. I have never seen an original as in the movie in person- the last that I own is the Lord Brunswick case from the mid 60s to mid 70s. I would never sell mine as it is mint original. Your case is just so, so cool- YOUR JB history cue case is the NUTS!!

You need a case for your case!

Seriously, though, it's stunning. I can't think of one I liked better.

It’s $15.50 in the brochure you posted.

Ask for a refund.

They did a very very nice job. It looks really gorgeous.
