papaw Report post Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Sorry for double post fingers are not working well today!!!!! Just bought this Embosser with some dies, It's a Osborne with Newark N.Y. there is no stamping or model #. The party I got it from said he bought it used 43 years and never did anything with it as he did know what it was and didn't work with leather so it just set. I would like to learn as much about the age, any books, and where one may find parts ( the roll tension arm linkage is missing, the best I can tell I would call the rest of it very good.

papaw Report post Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) I've talked with Bruce on other issues before, and he is a great guy to deal and talk with. I just hate having to ask one person when there is so much knowledge all through this forum. I dislike brothering one person all the time. I don't post answers here too much because I don't have the answers, but I do answer what ever I can. If know one else answers I'll talk to Bruce Just giving others to respond. Thanks camano Edited October 13, 2014 by papaw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sylvia Report post Posted October 13, 2014 You could try proleptic for manuals. You could also try Osborne for manuals. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
papaw Report post Posted October 13, 2014 Contacted Osborne & Co still no answer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
papaw Report post Posted October 15, 2014 C.S. Osborne sent me a email today, Stating that the only information they had was a picture from a 1892 catalog which they sent the catalog picture. I guess Bruce may be the only help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
