Mystery Case
 

I was at the dump the other day and found this case. I cleaned it up with some shoe polish, it is really well made. What I can't figure out is what it was used for. I was thinking a trumpet or other musical instrument but it's not really deep enough. Any ideas?

I also tried my friends Thompson SMG but no joy! :)

Possible a weapons case?

That seems to be the most likely use for it. One of my friends says its for a:

I would have thought some old medical kit! :hmmm:

I'm thinking for knives.

I have a much smaller "elegant case" ... :haha: but for draftsman's tools. I don't use them; it's a display item in my living room. Lucky find.

A thought

What if this suitcase has been in the hand of Al Capone or some other famous mafia leader.

My immediate thought was it’s evidence :D

Who knows, but when I picked it up I didn't get the same evil vibe that I got from standing at the Nurenburg Stadium podium where hitler gave his speeches, but maybe it was just too faint by comparison. :03:


After all Capones body count hardly compares!

I'm pretty sure it's a juxtaposed scattergun case with the cleaning kit on the top:)

It looks to be some type of case for a weapon of sorts. It there any markings on the case at all?

I would assume the big case up top would hold cleaning equipment and the other cases would hold bullets/clips etc.

Just a guess of course. :Kaleun_Cheers:

I'm sending it off to a gunsmith buddy of mine. He said he'd find something to fit it.

hard to tell by the pic but don't look deep enough to hold a weapon probbly long enough too hold a saw off looks just a little bit higher than the lighter

looks like this is pretty close :up:https://www.sportsmansguide.com/prod...-case?a=322970

Mine looks fairly old like 50-75 years old. I'd love to get both of them side by side to compare quality.
