You can use brown shoe polish to help with the scuffs. That kiwi paste will work. If the stitching is light colored, shoe polish will "dye" the thread. I don't think you can hurt that one easily. Lexol conditioner is good. Mink oil may darken it some but will add water resistance as well

By the way, you are not a bother and I am glad to hear from you. Take care

$700. There are only 4 similar to that

Hello Michael,

It would require taking that case apart to make a tooled lid flap. Lots of time. I could make a small design and stitch it to the flat top of the lid. Not much design but much more doable for about $100 plus shipping. Lemme know what you decide.

I play out of Kolbys and sometimes Skip and Jans.
