Default CASES, Spares, No. 1, WS Cdn No. 52 ZA/CAN/BR 2349

I was looking for a couple of items last evening and had my two Cases Spares sitting out on the floor. When I picked up the newer, minty green one to put it back on the shelf, something on the front of the case caught my eye. I thought I could see stencil marks. I put it down on its back and started playing with the lighting in the room. Sure enough. I could see the first two lines of the markings for this case that are illustrated in the Master Parts Listings:

CASE SPARES
WIRELESS SET

I pulled the water damaged grey case off the shelf and compared the shadows left on the wood on it to what I had just spotted on the green case. I can only just read the first two lines on the grey case and they matched perfectly to the green case and the manual.

This morning, I gave the green case a closer look, and a VERY light partial sanding, and found the third line:

CANADIAN NO. 52

I can also read CMC at the start of the 4th line with one ‘0’ near the end of it, and the numbers 9 and 3 at the end of the 5th and last line.

Again I am amazed at the incredible detail the illustrators provided in the Master Parts List.
