Help Identifying Bass Flight Case

Does anyone know what brand/model/year this case is and what guitar it's for? It has Southco Simmons latches that twist clockwise to lock but I don't see any other brand identifiers. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

The pics are a little fuzzy, but it looks like a fairly old, generic flight case. The very basic (uncomfortable)handle and corner protectors are things you wouldn't see on many cases today. The foam cavity looks to have been unevenly cut, so I suspect that it originally came with a solid foam sheet at the top so it could be customized for any bass. This would also make sense for a generic type case.
 
^^^Agreed, definitely a generic no-name case...similar though not identical to something like this:

The Southco Simmons latches don't really help date it, since they've been manufacturing latches since 1945!
