Vintage round case id help

[NathanDetroit]

There are several threads about old cases and their makers, but little is said about round cases.

I have a round 1×2 with no markings. A "stirrup" top with no strap, just a hand grip.

Came with 50yo cue, but I don't remember seeing an Adam round case

I have several of these. There was more than one brand, more than one length, and more than one diameter. I'll post more later when I get time. I have info.

Those were 60s into 70s cases - for the most part - you could still buy them new into the
80s / the round case versions that were cut in half and side hinged we’re known as coffin cases. Coffin cases could hold 60 inch cues.

#525 in the catalog picture is such a case.

There was also a round case that transitioned to oval at the top. I know Brunswick sold those, probably others. I have one, and probably pics somewhere.

Many interesting cases over the years.
