Does anyone sell the "fabric" used to cover old cameras? My Speed is fine, but I bought an old Goerz camera and would like to replace the piece on the drop-down front. What is that stuff anyway? |

The Morocco leather used on these cameras was not real leather, it was a letherette manufactured for the company, by a company unnamed in any research I have ever found! I won a bid on Ebay a few years ago for a pre-cut Pre-Ann covering!
I have recovered many Graflex and Graphic camera bodies with real leather over the years....(getting very hard to find the "Morocco", since Tandy quit supplying it)!
Have a nice day......Bert |
