Thanks a bunch Glenn. I was thinking if all else fails, I can have latch type closures put on it.

I don't have a key for my bentwood case for my 1928 99, and I was thinking of putting those latch type closers on mine. I am a little leery of trying to pick up that heavy machine by the handle of the case. I'm afraid it will break the original locks! Those little machines are like lead weights!! :-)
A small screw driver(flat head) will open the lock. The handle will hold the machine. You can reinforce the handle with a support inside the the top of the case. Glenn
