Fig. 6-2: Argus Redycase (left), De Luxe Case (center), and Zipper Case (right)
Black Leather Zipper Case
(BLANCA)
Part No. 50 Original 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.
Black Cowhide “Redycase”
