   The Dyo company makes Dyo clean and other leather treatment products.  I found them at a shoe repair wholesaler.  Dyo balm is also a great product for conditioning leather with no discoloration.

   Eric,

   I asked the DW and she mentioned that hairspray usually works on ballpoint pen ink.

    Using the pen, make a small mark in an out of the way corner of the chair. (down low in back?) Let it dry.  Dampen a corner of a cloth with the hairspray and try that.  I don't know if it will work with a marker, though.

   If it does, then,  I would immediately try and  buff a dab of neutral shoe polish onto the leather to keep it from drying/cracking.  No shoe polish?  A drop of mineral oil or baby oil, even extra virgin olive oil (just a drop or two).

   The hairspray did the trick, thanks.
