2 Ben Lee Striking/Speed Bags

[ventanakaz]

i came across 2 Ben Lee bags from the 40's, One of them has never been hit on, unfortunately that one is a heavy hitter, the other one is in need of inside lining repairs, the leather seems to be good even though this bag has been put though the ringer and i only had a few minutes of hitting on it, it's definitely of a thinner leather & fatter belly and that's why it's alot faster and way more fun to hit, Hopefully i can get it repaired good enough to have a second life with me, i have Elmer's rubber contact cement but the elmer's is nothing like it was before, i need to find a great rubber cement glue that will hold the lining in place and still stay flexible because it's a bag that's gonna get hit on. BTW the glue needs to dry fast enough to keep the lining in place when i contact the lining to the leather on the inside, from the pictures you can see i have a pretty good amount of lining to glue to the leather, So the glue needs to work, Any ideas with great rubber cement that any of you worked with, i need this to work because i only have one shot at this, Oh and Rocky Marciano used Ben Lee boxing goods, i wonder what years were they in production, i can probably look that up but without a computer it just makes it that much more harder.

Very condensed history of the firm, will continue with the research..https://keymancollectibles.com/glove...eballglove.htm Apparently someone has acquired the name and a new line of boxing equipment is being sold

When i posted about my two ben lee bags, i looked them up just to try and find out (what year they started and what year they ended) it appear like the tuf-wear brand, The ben lee name was bought by another country.
