Which company made the OEM cases? Was it TKL?
It was Ess & Ess through the 70’s. I’m not sure when they changed but this 1980 catalog still shows Ess & Ess cases.

So at least 1977 & -79 they were brass plated - NOT BRASS.
Hadn't noticed that.Interesting catalog, but it is missing pages A-7 and A-8, which should include the D-25, the D-35, and the G-37.
No problem. I think I came across it when I was researching my Ess & Ess case a couple of months ago. I got it with an old MIJ Alvarez 12 string and was pretty sure from the get go that it wasn't original to the Alvarez. Once I started digging I realized it was very likely a Guild 2520 case, although the brand badge is missing.That was great link, thank you!!!
