Vintage Case Back Photos

I thought it would be nice to have a thread with vintage case backs that depicts the nuances from the various vintage case backs through the years. Stampings were not always perfect or centered and with some help from the members here, this should provide a nice reference for those with case back questions.

Here are examples that I have from my photo archives. Let's see some other examples!
