My 132k6 was my first machine and I still have it. I sew Chaps, canvas and do bullet loops on my belts with it. It sews great and you can't beat the amount of thread you can wind on a bobbin that size. I used to sew holsters on it as well but that was pushing it. I upgraded to a Landis #1 for the holsters and now I use a Landis #3 for the heavy work. I wouldn't trade my 132k6 for any new machine built today.
Hi Ian,
I don't know of anyone building this stamp at this time. I bet Bob beard could make it. Yes that is the 3's work. Thank you for all of the positive remarks.
I bought this stamp with some other old tools. It has no name on it. Could be McMillen, we had a few tool makers in Az back in the old days. It is hard to tell one of their tools vs. a McMillen, at least for me. Ray Hackbarth Marked his tools.
