I know that this is a 2/3rds case, but I have been looking at all the layouts and can’t find one like this.

It’s a double cap case with room for figures and punctuation at the top. I have lots of them in my shop and often put small full fonts in each side, separating the caps and lowercase in each compartment. The case itself it a lip-front which is the oldest style you find around today. They fit in a frame that is different from most of the type stands in use today. I have two full frames with lip-front cases in storage, in the hopes that I will someday have a shop where dust isn’t a big factor.
