I dont know about old National cases (my style 0 came in a very old but very basic case), but some can be a work of art. I have an old English banjo from around 1920 which came in a heavy grade case which is velvet lined, has a velvet banjo shaped liner to lay over the body and the strings, and the latches are all sprung and lock when you close them. It even came with a heavy canvas overcoat to protect the case. They don't make 'em like that anymore!
