I picked up a large lot of Serafil Thread sizes 15,20,30,40 (Tex 210, 135,90 and 70). I have the most variety in the 40. Colors include blues, orange, black, brown, burgundy off white. I you have interest let me know what size and I can get a better inventory. This thread normally sells for around $15 per spool.

So just bumping it because I got a very similar email today...and it was familiar because I got another a few years ago. The one from the day I'm asking where there's from and wherever they're from "I have a friend there who can pick it up" and see where it goes. Bottom line, nobody is giving away a free machine and if they are they're going to go local first before going to the trouble of shipping and asking you to pay for it.

I got a small lot of this leather in, it's gotten stained around the edges during transport. It was originally used to line the back of belts for a major "heritage company" here in USA. The tag said "Toast Nubuck Lining (Anatolia). Although it's nubuck it does feel like it has a finish. As indicated by the name it's very suitable for lining belts and such. The temper is somewhat firm. $2 per foot price is low because of staining, hides pulled as is. Shipping from SC. Will discuss price reduction for 10 Hides or more.

Unfortunately I don't get much at that thickness, I wish I did but since we don't normally use it, the lots that come through are rare.

Thanks!

Google is failing me and It doesn't appear to have instructions. If anyone has some ideas let me know!

Sorry I missed this message!

Hey did you get in touch?

Yeah that $80-$100 a hide for Essex. Latigo Horween is on there…

PM me for the list to be emailed ...if you need it Leather March 2024 .pdf

Yeah I certainly didn't comment with any expectation of a free fob die...

I wouldn't call it a "scam"... they said "I’m considering sending out free keychain cutting dies to a few interested leatherworkers. " Which is quite a bit different than "if you give me feedback, I promise to send you a die"... But I do agree that it is a little deceptive. Just my two cents!

Hey folks, I have a decent lot of this blush Blarney leather from Seidel Tannery. It has a peachy pink color with a white back. 5-5.5oz roughly. Probably have around 300 feet of it. Only $1.50 per foot plus shipping from South Carolina. It’s a nice leather just not a color that I have a lot of use for. Lightly corrected. Somebody wants to make me an offer on all of it. We can also do that.

So the machine is ancient… like older than me. I’m 43… Which is why I guess the machine is probably Italian or American because that’s what was around back then. I doubt it’s metric just because of the spacers I have seemed to correspond to inches and fractions of inches. What you say about the tolerance is adding up makes sense, I think I’m going to see if I have a 1.5” spacer, and if it lines up with one 1 inch spacer and two 1/4” we sold a lot of belts last year, so I’m not terribly worried. I was just curious, as if it was normal or not… apparently there’s a lot of variation in machines.

It's not often but more often than you'd think...
