1960's era 3hp suitcase johnson

[jakedaawg]

I have an old outboard that my grandpa had. I used it growing up while visiting him. It is in good shape. I understand that these engines with the folding lower unit originally came with a suitcase to make them more portable. Does anyone have any pics of the suitcases that were used or know of where to acquire one?

There were several versions of the case, according to what fits inside. As I recall, not all folders came with the case as standard equipment.

Thanks for the help guys. I am guessing that Grand'pa didn't purchase the case. He was frugal and lived on the lake.
