This one is very similar to the case used in 'The Hustler" - here's a pretty good thread about it we all did trying to figure it out:

I had an AE Schmidt catalog from 1957 (still do somewhere) that showed a similar case and it's shown in the thread. Brunswick made one as well. These tooling designs were influenced by fishing rod cases from the early 1900's. I have one from 1920 with similar tooling designs.
None of the production cases are exact to the Hustler case from what i can tell. I have a feeling "Macguy", who knew a lot, might have it right - a custom made case with similar designs.
