Normspeed Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Wondering if anyone has ever seen one like this. I got it at a yard sale, it's all aluminum including a cast aluminum handle and looks pretty old. The lining is still OK, and it has a name and numbers written inside, maybe a service number? Looks like R.D. Clarke, 347-88-79. Has anyone ever seen one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmopar Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I have a black one like that I had purchased some papers at a auction and the papers were in the case. Never thought much about it I did keep the case to keep my timing light,vacuum,compression gauges ect in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 They used to have cases about that size to carry the shoe style roller skates. Not sure they would have had that nice an interior with a pocket, though. Mine just has a paper sort of liner. I wonder if that case was originally painted on the outside....I have a blue metal larger case that was painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randroid Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Gents, When I was in the Navy my Service Number was the same sequence as those numbers, and my Chief was named Clarke. We all thought he was goofy because he'd get all the FUBAR micrometers and interchange parts until he had some that were dead-on accurate, but in retrospect it was something to do at sea other than read crotch novels while on watch in the engine room. Hmmm... I wonder if that was where he kept the good ones. -Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
