I just aquired a Folmer and Schwing 3A Graflex SLR and am wondering what methods and materials I can use to keep the shutter curtain for this camera from drying out and clean any dirt and dust from it.

Thanks,

Doug :)

Pledge Natural Beauty (yellow can, not the wipes).
Spray on, let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour, support curtain and wipe off/rub in. Works on the leather body cover, bellows, and vinyl of newer cameras.
