<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 329062, member: 54&quot;]Wondering if you considered fixing it up a little?&nbsp; I’m guessing your market for this is primarily people who can use it right away for home or decorating.&nbsp; The interest would be greater, I’d think, if the damaged leather was fixed up enough so the item was usable, IF the repair is very neat.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I’m saying “don’t try this at home unless you have the skill.”&nbsp; But one museum technique for disintegrating leather is to apply rubber cement to it.&nbsp; In this case, you’d do that where needed, then probably fasten new leather of same color over the top of the old, using rubber cement.&nbsp; When you display the repaired item for sale of course you will have a large book that nearly fills the book area of the stand, opened to some interesting pictures.&nbsp; I’m against repairing rare, valuable old stuff but this is neither and could be neatly repaired without much fear of devaluing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
