Larry SoucheckDisplay cases
Here are two common examples. The first being a Hamilton snapback and bezel. I suspect this is how the salesman or jeweler housed the movement before the customer selected a case of his/her choice.

Larry SoucheckThis example is made for an 18s Hampden. No bow, and hinged back and bezel. Not as common as other display cases.

Phil DellingerLarry,
Terrific pictures as usual!!
I really like the display case with the
hinged bezel.
The only display cases that I have are the
snap-on/off bezel type, and I guess this is ok if you have a pendant set movement , but are a pain in the neck when it comes to setting the time if there is a lever set movement involved.
