Parker Supplied Case:
I have located the leather case supplied by Parker in Dean Weber’s post earlier this year. His case matches my Lifter case, even the blue interior compartment. The case was called a “pressed seamless case”, though it looks like stitching was later added.
Since there were no cars around in 1886 the case couldn’t be called a “motor case”, a “carriage case” would be more appropriate.
