    Boxed In... ? Or "What am I supposed to put in this case?"

    Hi Everybody,

    I bought a job lot of items today and amongst them was this empty LDO case. Apparently, it had previously been used to house a timepiece!

    Question is (at least for me) what is it for? I can't work it out. The case measures approx.: 65mm x 65mm x 20mm

    The inside features a circular cut-out portion (presumably for a pin due to the pin-like protrusion at the top of the circle) which has a diameter of approx. 29mm. The inside of the lid features the LDO mark. The case has a circular push-button catch. The case-hinge is centrally positioned and measures approx. 30mm.

    If anyone can tell me what this is I'd love to know. Incidentally, the seller described it as being for a screwback award.

    Thanks for looking.

    All the best,
    Toby.

    Okay, I'll make it easy for you: here are the photos!

        I would say that is a case for a screw-back EK1.

          Agree with Rich, however the black material in the base, I would say is a recent replacement.

          Regards,

            Rich / Neil,


            Thanks for that. I was confused by both the break to the circle inside the case and the type of lining used. Though, unlike Neil it hadn't occured to me that the case had been relined.

            Case closed, as they say (forgive the pun!).

            All the best,
            Toby.

              Your case is for a screw back EK1. I wouldn't say the case has been relined. LDO cases did come with the lower section lined with black material. Here's a PIC of my case that came with a L/12 cross in it.
