This U.S. case layout matches that of Hamilton Manufacturing Co, Catalog c.1905 and it is intended to be paired with their Space and Quad case..By removing the boxes for spacing, many of the lower case letter boxes have been enlarged. Sky Shipley acquired this case in 2026 (see October 2026 News https://skylinetype.com/news ) and he comments that it is mostly useless, and he had never encountered one before. Indeed it is no longer featured in, for example, the Hamilton 1930s catalogue.A more usual job case is, for example, Hamilton 1897.

The emtty case construction is Hamilton 1905.
