Even though the case does not have an makers marks it was shipped with the 1970s Ibanez made instruments like the artists etc. Good condition for its age , does have some scuff marks o the exterior , replaced handle and some repair to the padding on the inside . If you want a mint case then this will not be for you but if you have a 70s Japansse built banjo in need of an original case then this could be for you . Having a big clearout due to downsizing and change of career.
