    Default Measurements of vintage Gibson A style mandolin case

    Can someone please tell me the height of a vintage Gibson mandolin A style mandolin case from the twenties? I am guessing it is going to be around 3 to 4 inches . Thank you so much.

    Mine is about 4.25 inches- the top is slightly domed and I am ignoring the feet. It is a G & S made case.

    My G&S and Bull Head A style cases are 4" tall, from bottom edge to top of the dome.

    Close to the '20s: I have a 1917 A4 with, I'm told, original case. 4" from interior bottom of case to interior top of dome.

    Awesome. Thank you for the help! Can someone give me the overall length of the case and the width at the widest point? Thank you so much!

    The inside dimensions of a late 1910's case are approximately 26 1/2" long by 11" wide. Outside dimension are 27 3/8" x 11 5/8".
