This is a rare opportunity to own one of the finest, most beautiful, and well-built guitar cases ever made: a 1939 Geib "Aeroplane" or "Racing Stripe" tweed case. These are legendary among collectors and players for their craftsmanship and style.
This case is compatible primarily with Gibson's full-depth, 17" wide archtops, such as the L-5, L-7, and ES-300. It is also an excellent fit for large Gibson acoustics such as the SJ-200. Other brands from the era may also fit, such as the Hagstrom Switchmaster and Barney Kessel models.
The condition of this case is excellent, especially considering its age. All latches, hinges, metal feet, and the original handle are present and function perfectly. The interior features its original, beautiful lush purple lining. The only significant wear to the lining is on the underside of the lid, where some of the pile is worn (as will be shown in the pictures). The exterior tweed is also in excellent shape, with very light scuffing and one patch on the top bulge that seems to have picked up a bit of paint, which could very likely be carefully removed.
