1930`s Leather Suitcase Handle Before And After

Recommended Posts

I was commissioned to make this old leather handle for a guy from Canada.

He`s restoring an old 1930`s suitcase which will be displayed on the running board of his 1926 Franklin.

Very nice... I went to your web site to look. I see you sell split rivets. How are split rivets used? I don't know how they work or anything about them. Thanks

Nice job on the handle. I also have a leather handle to make for accordion case. I have never done one before and I hope I can do as good job as you did.
