Galvanized metal case with original leather strapping and early use of corrugated cardboard as a interior liner.
Wear is consistent with age and use. Please see all photos as they are part of the description. Tiny hairline stress crack that is almost not there on one corner that does not go through the entire piece of phenolic. It is so tiny that the camera could not show it in the photo we show of it.
