Small case collection

[asiasdad]

While I'm waiting for the last of my dirty dozen cue collection
to be completed I have put together this small case collection
to take them out when it is their turn to play.

Love that Centennial!
I've been looking for one... rough going.

Love the Centennial.

I dig "Fellini style" cases.

That Fellini you are after is very cool.

I have yet to add Thomas and Centennial to my collection of that style as well as Schon, Meucci, Ann Gore and GTF. I like them to have the Fellini style lock and I'll most likely walk away from such a case without one. Except the Meucci of course as they never had it, they have a coll kind of release button built into the lid.

Right now I have:
A couple Fellini
A couple Engles, one tooled, one elephant
A couple It's George (old Fellini locks)
Kelli, by Bill McDaniels, ostrich, NOS
A couple of unknowns
A couple Viking
A couple McDermott
Maybe a couple or three I am forgetting to mention...

Funny Story: Back in the early 80s, I was at a tournament and on one of the vendor tables was Jim Rempe's used Fellini. It had his name on it and a bunch of hand tooling. I believe they wanted $400 for it. I can remember holding it in my hands and discussing the option of having his name covered with another piece of leather.
