What a beautiful machine, 
 
	I managed to get one of these American St Louis leather splitter.
 
	I purchased it in lot with a shoe stretcher and a couple of  other cobbler items for a very reasonable price. 
 
	 
 
	I plan on selling the shoe stretcher for it needs work. 
 
	The leather splitter I will keep I already have it on the restoration.
 
	it was really in need of my restoration 
 
	When I received it.
