Black Leather Zipper Case

(BLANCA)Part No. 50Original Cost $2.50

An all-purpose case of heavy selected cowhide, completely lined with soft rich velvet that will not scratch or damage camera. Zipper fastener running around slightly more than three sides, allowing almost instant full (bookwise) opening. Swivel snap loop can be quickly attached to belt—used with shoulder strap or turned around out of the way for easy pocket access. Net weight of case is 3 ounces and gross shipping weight 5 ounces. A practical user’s case because it is more durable than the other cases and is as distinct as the camera. Though rarer than the De Luxe or Redycase, these are often seen in better condition because of the tougher leather and durable design. This case is also seen in brown.

Soft Suede Zipper Bag

(SWACA)Part No. 50A Original Cost $1.00 These are apparently rare because the author has never seen one.

De Luxe Black Leather Case

(LUXCA)Part No. 50B Original Cost $4.50

Superbly tailored in fine selected black leather and completely lined with soft plush velvet. Simple opening of one snap fastener instantly drops entire front for action, exposing lens assembly, finder, winding knob and counter. Case is sufficiently flexible to even allow closing with lens barrel ever ready at infinity focus. Has hole in bottom for tripod mounting or safety screw plug. Fitted with full 52” shoulder strap with ample length buckle adjustment. Net weight of case is 6 ounces. Shipping weight is 8 ounces. Often damaged at straps and bends in the leather. Though relatively common, these cases are harder to find in good condition. These cases are often seen in brown. These comments apply to the case listed below as well.
