Multiple Toymakers No. 1723 Carry Case Castle (1969)

From 1969, here's another soft-case carry-all from Multiple. This one is about twice the size of those being posted here before measuring: 

Closed: 13 1/2" (34.29cm) W x 11 1/4" (28.57cm) D

Open: 13 1/2" (34.29cm) W x 25 1/2" (64.77cm) D

with 3" (7.62cm) H walls

Unlike the other smaller totes being posted here on the blog, with their HO scale figures, this one is equipped with 40mm figures. My case had 10 red and 29 silver foot knights with 2 silver mounted knights and horses. Siege equipment included a blue tower, blue catapult with 14 blue 'stones', and a red crossbow with two arrows. The foot soldiers without bases were impossible to stand up on the wavy vinyl plastic of the case - the single biggest drawback to any soft case made by any manufacturer. The case itself is near mint but playing with the knights on it would mean gluing bases to their feet - always an option! Enjoy! Opa Fritz
