This case is shown in American Type Founders, Pacific Coast Blue Book - Specimens of Type, Printing Machinery, Printing Material, 1896, and American Line Type Book - Borders, Ornaments - Price List Printing Material and Machinery Boston 1906, and Barnhart Bros & Spindler, Book of Type Specimens No.9, 1907, and Hamilton Manufacturing Co, Modern Cabinets, Furniture and Materials for Printers, Catalog 14 c.1907, and Modern Printing Office Furniture Catalog 15, 1922 and Catalog 16, c.1932, as their model 2780. A different copy of American Type Founders, American Line Type Book, 1906, shows a very similar Accent lay, but they separate out Ñ Ç and ñ ç etc. in the bottom row. This row, according to Hamilton, is for extra Spanish, French and Portugese accents.

The top row of accented letters, eg Å, should all have short accents not rings and the next row beneath, eg Ã, should all have long accents and not tildes. The rows with A E etc are small caps. The empty case is Dearing Accent.
