Members Lasse Posted April 24 Members Report Posted April 24 Hi everyone! I found this a couple of years ago and I am now gonna sell it. But don’t know anything about it. Can someone help me? It’s marked with D.R.G.M. On on place, the numbers 8 and 25 on another place. And what I sink says “Cohri” or “Cohi” please leave a comment if you know anything about it. Thanks in advance Quote

Moderator bruce johnson Posted April 25 Moderator Report Posted April 25 I have not seen that particular version, but see these once in a while. I don't actively seek them out to buy but have a Sutton on the shelf here with a small sack of other heads and anvils for it. I kinda like looking at it for now. These set a lot of different things - eyelets, lace hooks, snaps, etc. These multi-head fly presses seem to be mostly on the back bench in old shoe repair shops next to slopped over glue pots with a cranky 80 year old repairman wearing an apron to match. Those guys normally don't say much but usually open up when I ask if they have an aglet press too. (Press to put the ends on shoelaces). Once I say that they figure I might be worth their time to chat with.

DRGM stands for "Deutsches Reichs Gebrauchs Muster", and was used between 1891 - 1944. Hopefully someone on this forum knows more! Quote

Like I wrote in the other answer. It’s made in Germany, DRGM ("Deutsches Reichs Gebrauchs Muster", 1891 - 1944). Let me know if you stumble over anything that seem interesting in my hunt thanks!
