I placed the "?" in the title because this looks SO MUCH like an older, genuine Pelican Storm Case, that I cannot prove it really one way or the other. I got it originally from Cloudbreak Optics of Seattle, who no longer carries this particular case. CO is an optics dealer and such; they were not the manufacturers of the case itself.
Fit, finish, durability, rigidity, and size all point to it. The color combo and clamp arrangment is also a match. Nanuks do not have recessed channels on the top face (lid). However, with most Pelicans, the model decal sits on an off-center recess on the lid face. As you can see with this case, these recesses are centrally located.
So, I am unable to prove who the manufacturer is.
What I can say is that this case is built to handle anything you dish at it. I was using it these last few years to hold my Explore Scientific eyepieces and it did it so perfectly.
Speaking of which...
Exact inside dimensions in inches without the custom foam inserts:
11.73 L x 7.95 W x 4.70 H
As it sits, the inserts I have included inside will hold (4) 1.25-inch eyepieces and (2) 2-inch eyepieces.
Like a Pelican and a Nanuk, this case has dual, heavy-duty, click-on latches that you press in the middle to release. To the outer sides of each latch you will find a hole that runs through both the base and lid; this is where you can utilize a padlock or (2). The central, black knob seen just above the carry handle is the air pressure adjust valve, which will allow atmospheric pressure inside the container to adjust without letting moisture in.
Weighs exactly 2 pounds 14.3 ounces.
Physical condition is perfect. The seam is true all the way around. The hinge joint is true as well as for the latches and the carry handle. Latches click on command and release as required with no issues. At no time will the lid shift or jiggle. No cracks, punctures, bad scratches or modifications are present.
Cosmetic condition is very excellent, not quite mint. Nearly all signs of use are seen on the underside. A little spot cleaning could remove nearly ALL of these rubs/stains; the case is still super clean-looking should you leave it as is.
Interior is very clean with no stains or stinks.
All nations welcome to bid.
