Hi.
This is the first time I write in this forum and I need help for dating a Stratocaster case.
According with the logo and latches it seems to be from 1974 to 1980 but every picture I find from this era cases doesn’t have plastic handle.
Could you help me for dating the case or do you think it’s a most modern one with an old logo?.
Thanks a lot

The oldest case I own is from '83 and it has a plastic handle. I would say your guess on the date is about as close as one could get. Leather handles I think went out in the early to mid '60s maybe the late 60's. Some exceptions for tweed models w/ RI guitars.
I don't see a G & G tag, is there one inside the pocket?
