One is from a 1944 Chase Velmo Upholstery ad and the second one is from the "Catalog of Copyright Entries 1947 Commercial Prints and Labels Jan-Dec 3D Ser Vol 1 Pt 11B" the entry there says: Quote: "Redolite, Goodall's famous plastic coated fabric now available in 23 new colors. (Ad 3136) (Upholstery materials) © 21May47; KK13246. End quote So Redolite seems to be a plastic coated fabric upholstery material. I can only speculate about it's consistency but from the above I can imagine it to some kind of faux leather used e.g. for chairs etc. that needed to be cleaned easily by wiping them off. It's primary use as upholstery material and therefore a mass produced material used in larger quentities made it certainly a cost effective camera cover material. But besides the two sources mentioned the rest is speculation by me.
