    Johanna, is it possible to revive this thread? the link does not seem to be working for me. Thanks, Raquel
  4. I have ordered Barry King's modeling spoons and I have a couple of vintage Tandy's modeling tools but I was wondering if there is a quality set I might purchase? Also, my vintage ones no longer have the protective coating (grip) on the handle and are therefore very thin and uncomfortable to hold. Can that grip be replaced? thank you, Raquel

  12. the argentinian guys at armasblancas.com.ar do this type of work.
  13. Do you still have these? Raquel
  14. Thanks Aaron, initially I felt like a total idiot because also the homemade "stamps" are asymmetrical, made out of cutoff nails and I didn't get the leather belt pictured. So I sent the seller an email and told her I was disappointed with the quality and she refunded me half the money; and with the refund I bought an old cast iron thong maker, I think it's the Australian one, which I have to figure out how to use...all that to say I think I'm addicted to ebay now. haha maybe we, the members of this blog, should call dibs on tools up for auction so we don't bid against each other. haha step away from the head knife people! (joking) I have no idea how to scan a book from home and only have a phone camera so I don' think I can post it online anytime soon, but it's a great little book copywrited in 1947 with a bunch of (Sheridan?) designs for tooling assorted sized purses, portfolios, book covers, belts, coin purses, wallets, picture frames and office desk sets like a paper weight and a letter holder, and lots more. I see that one just sold on etsy. It's called Designs for tooled leather Book II 18 plates by Louise C. Hoefer p.s. the hole punch, size 1 is from C.S. Osborne, Newark as well as the chisel fork so I was like yeah, I am on the right track haha. Sorry for being extra goofy I am blaming it on the extra glass of wine. Raquel
  15. This is my actual haul. thanks guys. Raquel http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280857119789#ht_500wt_1156
