I would like to buy an old drop bottom uke case.
Called that because if the back failed it would drop your uke out of the bottom :)
any condition. I would like to recreate them for those with old ukes and want the authentic look of the cases. just need one to see how they are made.
I included a pic of one for reference.DropBottomCase.jpg
 
I am bumping this in hopes that the right person will see it.
 
I have one that came with my Slingerland, but the bottom is slightly ripped. Are you still interested?
 
A true drop bottom case.. ;). One in bad shape like that would be perfect to reverse engineer..
 
I've also heard these called suicide cases. You insert the uke through a flap in the bottom of the case. There is a leather strap that buckles around the flap. The leather deteriorates, it breaks, your uke slides out when you pick up the case by the handle, it dies on the ground.

I just PM'd you. If anyone else has one they need to get rid of I am still open to those.
