Thanks for all of the insights shared. One more item has come up, which is showing much lower (and thus more attainable pricing) for me, an Adler 67-73. Condition looks quite good, which may be a good one to learn on? Current pricing is edging towards 220 USD, though.

Many thanks for the reply, Dwight. It's much appreciated. There is one leather splitter available, so we'll add that to the wishlist and see what we're up to when the auction ends!

One of the leatherworking businesses in the area (Johannesburg, South Africa), is closing shop, and auctioning off their inventory. My wife has been looking to get into leatherwork for a long while now, and has up until now been tinering by hand to fix various horse-related items. Can anyone share insights or personal opinions on these models? Which would you get, and what is a good price to pay for what should be a working second-hand model? Any insights would be much appreciated.
