Hi all,
I'm trying to help my Dad value some items of my Stepmum's, who passed away recently and left them to him.
She had a leather and saddlery business and has several very old/antique machines that I'm going to list on my country's selling platform, but I'm hoping to get Dad fair prices for the machines.
I don't know anything about the industry, so would very much appreciate any wisdom please, as to the names of some items or how much they are worth etc.
I will include the information I have found out so far. (I'm aware there's no number 3. I've kept it how I have written the info down initially, to avoid confusion.)
1- British United shoe machine. Pearson Number 6. Manual. 1920's.
2- United Carr eyelet machine/industrial press. 1950's-1960's.
4- Gritzner Shoe sewing machine/sole stitcher.Late 1800's-1905. Manual.
5- J.W Chase leather splitter.
6- Leather hole puncher. Belts etc. 1930's. Can be motorised.
