REFURBISHED CLAM SHELL CASES
 
 
  The idea for relining these clam shell cases with lambskin come from me kept seeing the old camel back clam Shell cases for Pince Nez eyeglasses come in with natural white suede lambskin liners.

A few were still nice enough for me to see they wasn't a liner stamped out like the velour originals were. Someone had cut them out by hand, and with dull scissors in a few cases. They looked good, but you could tell they were hand made and not factory stamped liners

The problem with the velour they used in most of these old metal cases was that it held moisture, and they mostly used a water based glue back then. I almost always find lots of rust under the old velour liners. All the rust has to be removed before a new liner can be installed, meaning you can get some labor involved with refurbishing. Then the hinge spring has to be checked or replaced. Rust weakens spring steel, and antique case hinge springs.

These Lambskin case liners are fully painted with rubber cement, and should solve any rust problem and spring wear...... Lambskin on Rubber Protection!

These are what I call my "Refurbished Cases", meaning they have very good to pristine original covers still on them. All are cleaned, spring checked, and relined......They are priced depending on cover condition.

         

         
 
         

RESTORED CLAM SHELL CASES

         
  These are what I call my "Restored Cases", meaning they have been completely restored with metal adjustments, new "real" Leather cover, spring, and Lambskin liner.
