Hi, can anyone tell me anything about this case? I have no idea what it is.

I don't know why, but I was thinking it may be a Canadian case?

Thank you for your help!!

The back.

Inside back cover.

I was thinking the same thing Larry. It looks like a Sturdy. But it would be labeled as such, especially the "Made In Canada" part. Hmmm

Thanks Brad, This one has me stumped. It was a mess and I almost just laid it aside, but when I cleaned it, it really looked pretty good. It has looked like this for a week now also. I just don't know what to think. I would hate to sell it with the movement in it and then have it start turning when someone gets it.

Larry when you say "turning", I take it to mean that the case must be made out of a material that is not gold filled. And after looking closer inside the back lid, I believe it is a brass composition type case.

I would pull the nice 992 out and put it in a period correct gold filled case just to save any prospective new owner the disappointment or anger when the case does "turn" from bright back to dull. And especially so if there are any other case screw marks from prior "residents". If you find any other marks at all from another movement, then it would be a no brainer to change it out.

Thank you Buster!

I have had this thing setting around for a week now, wondering if I should list it. I think I'm going to do that. I just DON"T want that to happen.

Thanks again!

I might be interested in buying it from you Larry, if the price isn't too steep. I've got a 1931 Illinois 167 that I'm going to have restored, and use as a "daily wearer", and it would look great in this. I don't care if it "turns", I've got plenty of Simichrome! LOL Brad

Hi Brad, You know i was thinking about that Renaissance Wax that was being talked about here not long ago!!

I'll send you an email in the morning!!

Larry, it's a good thing you sold this case to me...because it is starting to turn. On the back. Like I said, it doesn't bother me, because of what I'm using it for. But, had you sold that 992 in it, somebody would have been really upset. For me, I think my lower grade Illinois looks great in it, and as I reach for the Simichrome, I thank you!

Hey Brad, I'm gald you were able to use it, and you are right, it would have been a bad thing to have sold it to someone thinking they had a nice 992 for there collection just to see it start turning.

Thank you for the heads up bb!!

I'm glad everything turned out ok!

Larry
