Here are the After pictures of my Camel/Brass 65th Anniversary Legacy Bridgit. The bag looked to be intact and in good shape in the auction pictures, just a little dry and grubby.
I've had good luck rehabbing other 65th Anniversary Legacy bags but they were mostly darker colors, like blacks and browns, but light colors can be tricky; so I hoped that it would just need to be "lightly refreshed", but I was wrong!
When I received the bag it was actually more dirty, spotted, and worn than I had anticipted. First, I tried wiping it down with leather cleaner and then applying Leather CPR. It looked better, but it still looked dirty and and the lining was also dirty. So, I decided to go for the full rehab treatment.
I gave the bag a bath in Dawn and Water and scrubbled the worst areas and I also scrubbed the lining. Next, I rinsed the bag in clean water, stuffed it with towels and let it dry. Then I applied Leather CPR followed by Black Rocks, and I buffed the outside of the bag with a soft horsehair brush. The hardware is antique brass so I didn't try to polish it. The bag survived the bath very well and I am much happier with the results after dunking it.
