Don't believe I've personally seen one that states "Reasonable Usage." Looks like a "CYA" way back when !!

WOW!

Roger, like Buster I know I have never seen of heard tell of that one. Spelling out simple backing of a customer who uses their product "reasonably" is the kind of common-sense assurance that tells you what kind of company Wadsworth was. Their products always stand out as especially fine.

Thanks for sharing that very interesting case, please show us more details!

This sounds like a limited warranty. Wadsworth is saying that the case will hold up for 20 years under conditions of normal and reasonable use.

I wonder if at the time that case was made, maybe Wadsworth could have had a lot of claims being made against the warranty.They always were one of the very best cases, so that doesn't seem likely. Thanks for showing it, I'm no expert. But have never seen anything like that marking either! That may be the only one in existence. For whatever reason, maybe their lawyers had them put that on there.

Was a first for me and I had to have it.
It is a nice case with a firm omega bow and very
good crown. I do not see any brass at all. The
engraving on back is worn although still visible.
I have a 972 needing a good case. Worked out pretty
good

I have just acquired one of these for my collection. Has anyone found new information on this line of Wadsworth Case?

Nice find Fredrick, now we know there are at least
2 of these and only 38 numbers apart on the serial
numbers
