Thank Bruce - There is an "85" stamped on the top of the blade on mine but no "CS Osborn". So could it still be an Osborn 85? Thanks to the others for the interest on this, but I don't think I will sell it yet. If I do, I'll post something on this site since I would like it to go to a leather carftsperson. Tom

I'm really not sure I want to sell it yet. I've just been curious to know more about them. Thanks, Tom

I have a Krebs style splitter that I used back in the 70's. There are no manufacturer marks or tags on it. It is in very good shape with some light rust on the frame members and some minor rust pitting on the knife and rollers. The knife is still very sharp, but I never had it honed. It has all parts including adjustment screws. I am considering selling this since I have not done any leather work for many years (although the more time I spend on this site, the more I miss the craft). I'm not sure what these are worth now and what I should expect to ask if I decide to part with it. I would appreciate any advice that would be offered. Thank you.
