Without physically seeing and touching it i would guess that it is buffalo hide .

@cotymorris, is that an old Bible case? How thick is it? It looks pretty thin and supple. Tastech has a good guess re: buffalo, given the wrinkle pattern, but it also looks like it could be a really thin garment chrome tan cow hide.

Look on Google . . . ask for Tandy Leather . . . find the closest store . . . go ask them.

Some are knowledgeable . . . some are sales people.  

But it is a good starting place.

May God bless,

Dwight

look for bookbinding leather, shrunken book leather leather gives that effect but it is very thin, it's meant to be glued to a sub straight. Any of the leather companies that advertise on this forum have or can tell you where to get some shrunken leather that's heavier and looks just like what you're showing.
