This is probably a shot in the dark, but if anyone out there that has a known Nicole Freres empty case for a Nicole key-wind fat cylinder 2-per-turn that you would be willing to sell, I could be interested. I am starting to look into having a new case made to my specifications but it never hurts and costs nothing to ask the masses! Nicole's have the serial number on 20,000 series and up hand written in ink; 23,000 series was most likely the ink stamped numbers. Here are pictures with some measurements to keep in mind, in case you have a contender. Thanks everyone!
