<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 9585203, member: 33"]Thanks for that. I will look again at Sean Nolan's book, and also another one. Although it is black, I'm not sure that the design on the case is carved deeply enough to indicate that it's thermoplastic. But can't really tell. I have Berg's book that has lots of thermoplastic case designs. I am going to be a bit busy today but will try to get it done by the end of the afternoon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, also... at some point somebody might have taken the image out of the case, although maybe left it in the mat -- and put it back in upside down . These cased images are normally on the right side when the case is opened, with the velvet or silk pad on the left.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, looking again, I see the image that you posted of the case was taken with the hook closures in the middle. And the case hinge is broken so it's in two pieces. So never mind -- the photo is in the right place, I think. I don't see where the hooks are in the first image, but if they are in the middle then the photo is fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
