Members mb5 Posted July 7, 2025 Members Report Posted July 7, 2025 What material is it? It looks like it may have been what they used as a strop. Tandy has a white jeweler's rouge that looks similar when applied and used. Quote
Members Handstitched Posted July 7, 2025 Members Report Posted July 7, 2025 The tool in the centre looks a bit like a rivet setter as I can see a notch in the middle ?

Members BlackDragon Posted July 7, 2025 Members Report Posted July 7, 2025 Thats a snap rivet setter It works like this but I'm not using the correct snap in the pic. Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted July 7, 2025 Moderator Report Posted July 7, 2025 That tool is for setting "bar snaps". Bar snaps are used on the edge of wide flaps like on the coin pocket in a wallet. It was a wide piece of brass with the snap stead molded in. This tool was used to crimp the bar on the edge of the flap.

So it works on something like this? https://springfieldleather.com/products/brass-bar-snap-10pk?utm_source=chatgpt.com Can you explain a little how it works? Quote
Northmount Posted July 7, 2025 Report Posted July 7, 2025 The stud in the bar is an integral part of the bar. It just crimps the bar onto the leather flap. Quote
