Bring sophistication and a sprinkle of Massachusetts pride to your instrument storage. This faux crocodile leather clarinet case oozes both vintage charm and stories unknown—maybe it housed a jazzy trombone or ventured through legendary concerts.

University of Massachusetts at Fort Devens, a short-lived satellite campus that operated for returning World War II veterans. Active Period: 1946 to 1949 Utilized former brick barracks and facilities at Fort Devens in Ayer, Massachusetts.
DECAL: The American Legion—the largest wartime veterans service organization in the United States
ALSO: Stenciled gold lettering spelling MARYLAND alongside a faint circular emblem or seal.
The Training Pipeline: Military musicians stationed at Fort Devens typically had to go through formal training. Maryland is the historic epicenter for elite U.S. Army musicians—the U.S. Army Field Band and the flagship U.S. Army Band ("Pershing's Own") are headquartered at Fort Meade, Maryland. The American Legion Link: When musicians finished their time playing for the Army at Fort Devens, they very frequently joined their local American Legion Post to stay connected with other veterans. The organization famously sponsors American Legion Community Bands across the country, where retired military brass players continue to play instruments like the trombone together for decades.
