Looking for some guidance on what type of case this might be.
The closest I have found looks like a Fellini but when matched up with my other Brown Fellini it’s is slightly longer and has silver latch hardware instead of the brass finish latch my Fellini has. Also does not have the Fellini tag on the inside that you would normally find.
Other than that the construction looks very similar

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Only some Fellini latches had that bronze finish. I belive most had the chrome finish.
 
I love that style case by the way. Timeless, simple and classy. Yours are really nice condition too. Send them to me.
 
I'm skeptical of the black case. The hardware on the brown case is just like the hardware on my Fellini case, including the brass latch and the size and spacing of the rivets on the bottom. The rivets on the bottom of the black case seem a little different. I used mine heavily and the sewed-in label is still there, so there's no reason for it to be missing unless maybe the black case was refurbished. These cases must not have been used or used very sparingly. The bottom edge of the leather gets worn very rapidly with this style. Those rivets aren't very effective.

My guess would be GTF. Engles used some Fellini style latches too though.
 
there were a few good copies of the cases. no label means a copy.
i think even mcdermott made one that is almost identical.

when you buy or sell one you are paying for the label.
just like a gucci purse. the copies are just as good. its all in the mind of the buyer what think they are paying for.
 
The black one is a Kelli case. Thinner tube, and only 4 folds (referring to the leather pieces folded over on the bottom and on the cap, for lack of a better word) per side instead of 5 on the Fellini or 6 on the Schon. I'm interested if it's for sale.

Also, stomper, I'm interested in the Ann Gore case if you still have it for sale.

Thanks for all the feedback! And big thanks to s2kspider for such exact information!
A quick search pointed out exactly what you said with regard to the smaller tubes and the folds!
