SOLD. Thanks!

By the way, the legs are NOT removable. So it would need to be shipped as-is. Thanks.

Since you guys were so helpful in telling me what this thing was, I thought I'd give you guys a chance to make some offers on it. This horse will be going up at an estate sale for my grandfather that recently passed away, unless someone here makes an acceptable offer. My father is in charge of the estate, so I will pass all offers on to him, so he can decide. This horse is supposedly from the early 1900's. Pictures of this item can be seen here: http://leatherworker...showtopic=42241 Is there a way to connect the images to this post, without uploading them again? I have no idea what shipping would be, but I can try to find out if there's enough interest. Local pickup would be best, I'm sure. Item is located in Sidman, PA, near Johnstown, PA. Minimum offer is $50. Anything above that will be passed on to my father. Please PM me with all offers. I want this to go to a good home, and it seems the people on here would be more than happy to do that for it. Moderator, if you need something added or changed, please let me know and I will try to do so. Thanks, everyone!! Ryan

So has anyone ever heard of Buffalo Last Works?

Now that I now what the real name of this old thing is, I thought I'd clean it up and take some new pictures.

I cleaned it up some. The legs are NOT removable. I'll post new pics in a new thread of the appropriate name.

I'll go back over to the house and look to see if it's able to be taken apart. The legs may have been permanently attached, but I'll see. And clean it at the same time. Did anyone ever hear of the "Buffalo Last Works" company or brand?

Maybe I should clean it up and take some new pictures and upload into a new thread (with a title that makes more sense....Stitching Horse....are there other names for it?).

Yeah, shipping would be a lot, I'd think, since it's so big. Not that heavy, just large in size. A local pickup would be better for something like this. But if someone wants it enough, they'd pay the shipping, I guess. Finding a box for it wouldn't be fun, though....

Would it be worth a try trying to sell it to someone here on these forums, or should I just try ebay or at the estate auction? Is it anything someone here might really be interested in buying?

It actually seems very stable. And the vise is very tight, still. In the photo, it is still covered with dust and some bird crap, so it will clean up nicely, too.

Actually, this piece here is exactly like the one mounted in the horse we have: http://www.relique.com/antique-buffalo-last-works-wood-leather-stitching-vise-sold/ It does say early 1900's, not late 1800's.

It's not from the 1800's? All of the items that we pulled from this section of the building were supposed to be from the 1800's. This stuff was put there in the 1950's and left there. They were items owned by my great-grandfather and earlier. How can you tell it is not from the 1800's?

Well, I meant is it worth selling at something more than a garage sale for $5. I wouldn't just trash it.

It's supposedly from the mid-late 1800's. Is it worth anything to anyone here? Is it worth selling?

Hello, We are working to clean out my grandfather's property, since he passed away in June. I found this item, and I think it is a saddle vise, but not sure. It is stamped with "Buffalo Last Works". Please take a look and let me know. Thanks! Ryan
