I've had this E.M. Reilly case hanging around in the garage for years and now I think I'm going to try my hand at restoring it. As you can see, the leather is shot but the wood is in pretty good shape and all the hardware is there.
I have a couple of questions.
1. I just noticed that the handle is positioned on the back of the case, on the hinge side. I don't think I've ever seen one that didn't have the handle on the front. Is this common?
2. Does anyone have an idea what the partial label on the bottom of the case was from?
Thanks
