<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 11118671, member: 33&quot;]I have the 2003 edition of Berg&#039;s book. He mostly catalogs thermoplastic cases, frames, boxes, and other items by his numbering system and also includes black-and-white images of the covers of the cases. No text about the stories of the covers. Your case is actually I-29S because it has square corners. There is also I-29R with an identical design, except it has round corners. These are on page 79. I&#039;m not including a photo of the page because it gives no new information.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is also a key to listing of the case manufacturer. Yours was manufactured by Holmes, Booth &amp; Haydens. The company was founded in 1853 and began manufacturing thermoplastic cases in 1857, which would be the earliest date your case could have been made. Their biggest&nbsp; business was in the manufacturing of lighting fixtures and equipment, but also were active in photography equipment and processes. I found this article about the history of the company:</p><p><a href="http://www.thelampworks.com/lw_companies_hb&amp;h.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thelampworks.com/lw_companies_hb&amp;h.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelampworks.com/lw_companies_hb&amp;h.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
