In Reply to: bellows treatment posted by frank on March 14, 2001 at 11:38:45:Forgot to mention, most of the older Speeds
and Crowns, will have leather bellows--later
models could have a man made composition--in
my 20 years of collecting and restoring these
cameras, I have found only one camera with a
comp. bellows--it was a brand new one in 1998,
on a Century I restored for a fellow collector!
Comp. materal will not be smooth like leather,
and in most cases, will have a fine linen/like
texture. Bert
