New Belts - old patterns

Recommended Posts

belts2.jpg

Just finished these two belts for our local craft Co-Op. Both patterns were made by the same stamp used differently. This stamp came with some Saddlers tools which belonged to a Saddler who came from England over 100 years ago. The stamp is an Osborne one. Can anyone date it for me? I believe it was used on the winkers of bridles.

I don't know anything about the stamp other than I like it. Good job.

I can't tell you for sure but it looks like what they called a "pinch dog". I believe I have one and when I inquired to Osborne they could not find it in their 1898 catalog.

I have been wondering what to do with mine. Looks like I need to use a little more imagination and jsut get to work with it. The belts look great.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. It's good to know one is heading in the right direction. I have posted some photos of the stamp, and some others, in the Leather History section.

Cheers
