Hi everyone, A gentleman contacted me with this tool for sale. He says it is a vise to hold leather when sewing. I am more famailar with the traditional leather working benches and vises. I was concerned that it is not for sewing leather, because the brass clamp on the top has some small teeth, and I thought it would scratch the leather. What does everyone know about this tool? Is is a leather working tool? Approximate value? He describes it as " It is beautifully made, both metal work and wooden turned base. Stands 31.5" high. Pedal on base opens and closes brass toothed clamp" Thanks alot, Mike Zaetta

Hi everyone, My name is Mike Zaetta and I wanted to let you know that I have some nice leather working tools that I have consigned to up an upcoming auction. I bought quite a large group of tools, and sold some and this is everything that is left. Stitching wheels, edgers, strap cutters (draw knives), arch punches, a block of 17 unique stamps, wooden leather working mallet, portable leather workers, vise, etc... If anyone is interested, let me know and I can send you pictures and give you all the details, lot numbers, etc... You can then call the auction house and leave a bid, and if you win the bid, they can bill you, ship it to you, etc... Let me know if I can help you with anything. Mike Zaetta

Hello, I was recently at an auction and bought a large collection of leather working tools for resale. I have sold a couple, and a gentleman is interested in one of the tools, but I don't know exactly what it is, and what it does. I am including a picture, and would really appreciate any help. I was not able to find a makers name on it. Someone mentioned to me that it is a 3 - in - 1. Is this correct? What 3 things does it do? What is the approximate value? Thanks alot, Mike Zaetta mzaetta@yahoo.com
