The first case features a light blue finish with a wavy pattern, evoking a visual effect of waves or a checkerboard, very characteristic of 1950s-60s retro designs. Its surface has a slightly satiny appearance, with a regular geometric pattern that catches the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second case, dark brown, has a raised texture, reminiscent of a fine grain or a leather-like appearance, though it is not possible to confirm the material. Its shape is slightly curved, typical of rigid cases from that era. The contours are clean and rounded, with a sober and functional line, true to the utilitarian design of the mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth cases are equipped with a metal snap closure system, visible on the central edge. The hinges and closure systems show no visible marks on the exposed side.
