    The door-to-door Singer "Bonded Representatives" would carry a case like this to people's homes during the '30's, 40's, & 50's. The case is made by "Willian Bal Corporation" of Newark, New Jersey of a unique lightweight fabric composite called "Aerofiber" with metal hasps, edge trim and hinges. (Note: the warped nature of the dividers and parts/ supplies drawer).
    The case measuring 18 1/2" w x 13 1/2" h x 7 1/2" d weighs a light 9 lbs. The saleman would carry assorted parts and tools for on-site repairs as well as literature of the newest offerings. A "YouTube" video commercial from 1956 provided by Singer shows the Salesman in action with his "Tool Box/ Sample Case" at
