This Dutch case configuration originally came from E.J.Brill in Leiden and is used for Mongolian, and is currently (2026) in the posession of Jo De Baerdemaeker, who was given it by Jan Keijser of the Avalon Pers in 2018. The configuration is almost the same as the Dutch Letterkast of the Avalon Pers, which is shown in Hostettler's Technical Terms of the Printing Industry (1949) as used by Joh. Enschedé en Zonen. The two differences in the cases are the Brill case having two extra small boxes on the lower right hand side.but the top right hand section having four rows of only twelve boxes, rather than fourteen boxes. Thus the total number of boxes is 116, rather than 128 in the Enschedé case

The actual layout is Dutch Mongolian case.
