I think thus might be an unlisted version of a 1908 specimen case.
It seems to match type six with a maroon case, blue satin? and purple velvet. But the there is no lettering on the outside of the case. I'm pretty sure the coloring is maroon, when compared to a red 1911 specimen case.
I was thinking that maybe someone combined two cases to make one, but text does not match any of the other 3 versions in charelton. The feel of the leather and inside work matches the 1911 case and comparable photos. I saw two other photos of the same style case in a colonial acres auction and a Geoffrey bell auction, so there are other examples.
Does anyone have more info on this? Maybe left out of charelton for space reasons?

Thanks everyone, I think that makes sense on selling lower value stuff on ebay and keeping the better quality graded material for another venue.
All of what I just sold is graded, thankfully Canada Post seemed to have a good discount on shipping to US, ~$12 for tracked package US vs. $18 to send somewhere in Canada, at least we still have registered mail at a reasonable cost. |

I havn't put much up on ebay for quite a few months, but really noticing the impact of increased fees and FV on top of taxes. All in fees are starting to hit 16%+, no longer a power seller, but really starting to question the value of it. Recently had about $50 in fees on a $300 item.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to make ebay cheaper or is it time to just move on?
I usually sell in spurts, nothing for a few months, the a few months of activity, then nothing. From a buyer/seller cost perspective, the are pretty much approaching TCNC auctions |

Maybe it looks better in hand? And all the scratches/marks are on the case...
Could also be a function of lighting and angle. Otherwise am surprised at the grade.
As presented, I would definitely not pay MS64 prices. |

I've always struggled with grading the 1922-1936 nickels. Sometimes the grading companies put a EF-MS grade on coins with what looks like a lot of wear and the forum seems to see them as about right, but not always.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
