EK 1 Spange Case - Real or Fake

[TX 77445]

Hi everyone,

I posted a picture of this case in the crosses section (along with other items) and was asked to post it here as well. I am out of town with only my iPad and cannot figure out how to post just the pictures, thus I copied the link to the pictures on the other thread.

The item is a very good condition box to the EK 1 Spange where the trapezoid is concave. The Spange itself was a bad (never a good sign) but some think it has potential.

A link to the overall thread is here:

A link to the specific pictures is here:

If more detailed pictures are requested I can upload on Sunday.

Thanks for the help!

Additional photos of the EK1 Spang box. The wooden removable bottom is different than that of the EK1 box (cardboard in post below). Not sure if this is a problem or not. The glue looks similar in both cases. I cannot see any stamps / marking on the Spang box but the cardboard of the EK 1 box is marked 621 KB. Most everyone seems to think the Spang box is legit but wanted to post in hopes it seals a verdict (one way or the other).

Thanks for the help!

Hi Mills, I believe the case is a good one. I looked through a post on case codes but could not find one for the first model spange case. Jim
