Trox Report post Posted April 26, 2015 Has anybody seen tools from this Spanish tool maker before? I found a picture of this plough gauge on a German web site, with no more information or price on it. There was also a pic of a large round knife from the same maker. They seems to be from the Robledo Brothers in Madrid. Perhaps there are some Spanish member here who care to enlighten us about this toolmaker. With my non existent Spanish I cannot find anymore info about them. I also found an older (used) Robledo H plough for for sale in a Spanish auction site (now sold). There has to be some Spanish leather tool makers out there, they are hard to find for us non Spanish speaking. Anyway, I think it looks pretty good to be a "new" tools. (I found another one; a French pattern knife or cornette) What do you think about them.... Thanks Tor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trox Report post Posted April 27, 2015 Is there nobody who have an opinion about this tool? Bruce Johnson, I am sure this would interest a tool collector like you. I also found an other plough gauge made by them, this was much older. Therefore, this leather tool making brothers must have been in business for some time. Its strange that nobody have heard about them. Personally, I think the plough look quite good. Better than the "new" German Paffrath anyway. Thats the only new tool I can compare it too. Its a copy of a French tool, but that does not matter much. That pattern is so old that nobody remember who made it first place anyway. If it is any Spanish speaking members reading this, please do a Internet search about it and see what you can find about it. Thank you Tor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted April 27, 2015 Tor, I have never seen them before. They definitely have the look of continental European patterns but I haven't run across any that I recognized. They look pretty good in the pictures. - Bruce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trox Report post Posted April 27, 2015 Hi Bruce, the plough do look good, but it would look better with some parts made of steel. I love brass , but its kind of simple/easy material to build tools of. Just a couple of parts in polished steel would do the trick. Anyway, nice talking to you again and I hope you are well. PS. I am looking for a wide smooth duckbill pliers and some (small) oval punches, got something that you have not listed yet. Thanks Tor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
