Leitz/Leica Leather Boxes

[bhk]

Hi all. Just picked up some Leitz/Leica leather boxes in rough

condition. Can anyone recommend a good leather restorer that

might be able to fix these cases for me?

 

Thanks.

If you come to Paris (or have a friend there) buy CIRE 213 at the BNF

Bibliothèque Nationale de France.

 

It is the finest possible product for leather designed for leather book covers !

Babar, There is a product called Williams Saddle Dressing made in Australia. The ingredients are beeswav and lanolin. I have taken a piece of leather, brittle enough to break and in 24 hours made it as supple as new. The only drawback is that it will slightly darken the leather.

It is sold in other countries as well.

for Williams Saddle Dressing.

I have never used it, just passing on the link.

Good luck, Bob
