You are correct. I just peeled back the plastic wrap and took a good look. I
think the actual leather bits were the remains of the handle wrap, or ended up
stuck to the top from another source entirely. I registered on those bits, and
moved so quickly into a quick vacuum out, mothball, and plastic wrap that I
jumped past an actual close examination. I have a number of cases, small and
large, that are true leather and my mind went there.


Thanks for the other follow up information, as well.

Erik,
Check very closely.......  that 'leather' is cloth with a leather 
pattern printed on it in most cases.  I have one at my feet now and 
another in the shop, both the fake leatherette.
