Gruen Authority

Gary—I have a couple of these, and the wrap around the box seems to be a leather of some sort (later 1930s ones I have a cloth faux leather of similar pattern). I’d read something somewhere about this being shark skin, on these and the early verithin & Quadron boxes.

Am I recalling that correctly?

I think these are all hand-crafted. Masterpieces of the Guild craftsmen in their own right, IMO

My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more
