Got me thinking so I went through my 16s South Bend cases also.

7,893,909 20y swing out Old Logo
7,891,764 permanently hunter case Old Logo
7,925,168 20y swing out Old Logo
8,210,814 25y Old Logo
8,384,867 25y swing out Old Logo
8,436,337 20y swing out Banner Style
8,627,104 20y swing out Banner Style
8,727,771 25y Banner Style
8,745,648 25y hunter case Banner Style
10,055,668 20y Banner Style

Not sure this tells us much, but it is fun to try and figure it out.

Here is a gorgeous 16s hunting case I just picked up Thanks to Jon Hart locating it for me. It is absolutely perfect looking and was obviously used very little, if any. According to a south bend catalog, this is a case pattern #5367. This is a 20 Year case.

Here is the back of the case. This one will fit with my others very well. I hope to someday have a lot of the different patterns south bend had, but there are many different ones from what I can piece together, probably around 100 different patterns they put on the backs. Its not like Hamilton where they had about 20 to choose from total.
