ESPee metal-badged hardshell case?

[Newc]

So I wound up with an ESPee hardshell case with a metal logo plate. Are they considered de$irable ala the old Jackson metal-badged cases?

I would think so depending what fits in it.

How big is the plate?
The cases that came with my Lynch Kamy and skull/snakes have a plate that is (estimated) 8" x 6". These guitars/cases were purchased around 2001....if that helps.

The plate is 3 1/2" x 6 1/4"

It's got a Strattish-style body cavity on the inside. Nicely padded, with large center compartment. Has tolex covering, not that nylon or carpet crap.

edit: Just checked it more closely, it's a TKL made in Canada according to the leather tab on the compartment lid.

I did check Ebay but only saw the printed logos and one round-badge case.

My guess early 90's.

Yep, checked the Kam case and the logo is the size you mentioned, TKL with leather tab, tolex with leather look vinyl on the ends with white piping. I always associated these cases with the "custom shop" stamped signature guitars. I have a KH-2 that I bought used and it had an Ibanez case so I have been keeping my eye out for one of these cases. They do not come across ebay that often...or at least not when I am looking.

the old ESP cases had black corner bead around the entire case and silver inked logo, not the badge. i have no clue what its worth.

I think he has the same case that is behind the guitar in Robert Hendrix's NGD thread. I guess that would be the era and type of guitar that came in it.
