Hey everyone,
I'm selling a bunch of vintage and antique leathercraft and cobbler tools that belonged to my dad. I put together a full numbered list of the items, and matched each one with a picture in this Imgur album:

Each photo has a number in the description so it's easy to reference. The images are in the same order as the list.
My dad bought a cobbler/leather shop in the 90s from a guy who had it since the 50s, and he had bought it from someone who started it in the 30s. So some of these tools are seriously old. One of them dates back about 165 years. A lot of them haven’t even been used in 30+ years.
My dad’s close to retiring and I really don’t want to get stuck with all this stuff, so I’m trying to sell it now. I’m not in the trade myself, and I don’t have prices set so feel free to send me an offer for anything you’re interested in, whether it’s just one tool, a small bundle, or even the whole collection. Just keep in mind shipping is extra. It already took a ton of time just to identify and photograph everything, so figuring out prices on top of that was a bit much.
If you want more pics or have questions about a specific tool, just ask me. I’ll help however I can.
I'm in Montreal, Canada. I can ship almost everything — the only stuff I’d rather not ship are the bigger machines like the Singer 29K60. But if you’re seriously interested, we can see if there’s a way to make it work.
I broke the list down into four parts:
items in good/new condition with known brand/size
items in good condition without brand/size info
items in bad condition
items I couldn’t identify (some might not even be for leatherwork)
