·OP - nice find!
I do understand this is going to sound strange - but I have been getting into leather lately... (not in THAT way...)
First there was this 200 Skr (less than 20 USD) briefcase at a local auction site:
After some leather care (natural content) and I use it at work a couple of days per week:
Then I found this pair for 600 SKR - only have before-pictures but they did turn out very nice after some leather care:
Next was laying on the floor at a thrift store and looked very innocent in its protective canvas bag. I believe it was 400 SKR:
And I do like old Filofaxes (to write in) - and as almost no one else does they can be picked up for a song.
I prefer to buy these old leather things and then restore them (myself) - but I did comission a leather craftsman to make me a protective tube for my fishing rods. Not cheap but it will last a couple of lifetimes and only get more beautiful with time.
And if you ever need to unload one of those Filofaxes….can we even find the inserts anymore? And month/week at a glance?
