The sturdy cardboard case is covered with black artificial leather, but the lid is made of real leather. The case can be clipped on the user's belt - typical for the USA: As seen in "Western Movies" ready for a "quick draw". This "DIETZGEN" is made by KEUFFEL & ESSER. The SCALES are identical to K&E Model 4081-3 ( Version A ) but this CURSOR is a "DIETZGEN"-Patent ( Glasses are easy to break because its grooves !) ... It came with detoriated CELLULOID CURSOR-BLOCKS and broken SPRING ... ... Both had to be replaced by home-made ones. Same "CELLULOID DISEASE" happened also to the K&E 4081-5 ... ************************************************************************* Celluloid, first produced in 1872, was the first used plastic world wide. It consists of a mix of cellulose nitrate & camphor. The plasticizer camphor is given off over time and the nitrate breaks up under the influence of oxygen & moisture and transforms to nitric acid. Both effects destroy the material - and the acid is the reason why the metal of frame and spring get brittle & rusty.
