Rose Morris Guitar Cases and Bags of the late 1960s

Guitar cases and bags that accompany vintage guitars are quite often of a generic nature with no branding at all, which often leads to the question “…is this the original case?”.

The Rose Morris 1967 catalogue, and ones around that period, reveal that when purchasing a guitar, a matching case or bag to fit could be purchased too.

This page is useful if you want to know if it might be the original case or help you find one of the period to match.

These cases are quite recognisable and still performing the function they were originally bought for today.
