Summary
Leather case for a Kodak Instamatic 100 camera. Simple case constructed from two leather straps. The first strap is cut to fit precisely around the body of the camera with apertures for the lens, the flash cube release button, the wrist strap and the window in the camera back. This strap secures to itself with a pop fastener. The wrist strap hole is reinforced with metal and there are two metal strips across the front of the case reinforcing the leather at the point the other strap attaches. The second strap of leather is rivetted to the first under the lens and flash cube release and it provides the base, back, top and front of the case returning to secure to a pop fastener on the base.
