That Patent date on the case, Dec. 17, 1907, equates to Patent No. 873,786 granted to Herman C. Reutar of Chicago, Illinois, assignor to E.C. Cook & Bro. of Chicago, Illinois, a Corporation of Illinois. By 1915 E.C. Cook & Bro. had gone out of business and was reorganized as Alward-Anderson-Southard Co., probably the source of the A logo on the case.
