Antique leather restoration/preservation help...
03-09-2025, 12:52 AM
I collect antique cameras and repair them to working condition. Quite a few of them have their original leather carrying cases.
Most of these old cases are extremely "dry" and need some sort of conditioning. I am not looking to "clean them up" because that would take away the patina and character - I just want to condition the leather.
Any help on what I should use or websites that I should check out would be greatly appreciated.
These cameras (and leather cases) are in a display case.

Why Johnny Ringo, you look like someone just walked over your grave ...
