Re: Stiffened leather
I think there's  at least a good chance that the leather was not stiffened as part of the construction, but rather as a result of it.  Somewhere on here is a conversation I had with a guy who was experimenting with different oils.  In it he noted that some oils will harden over a long period, through oxidation.  They didn't exactly form a shell, like shellac, but there was a notable difference in the surface textures.  Any waxes that were added should also be considered.
I'm including a link to a vid that shows an alternate construction method for certain box types.
