Unknown leather cutter info request

[Einherj]

I'm looking for information on this leather cutter I bought from an old cobbler's estate sale.
Is there a special use for it?

It has an approximately 34 cm deep throat and 20 mm gap on the jaws. There is a long handle, so it can deliver a lot of cutting force.
It has a swivel base that can rotate 360 degrees around and pivot 90 degrees forward or back.

The maker logo is so worn I can't make out the name.

All info appreciated. Thank you.

Have only see one or two in pictures before. Not very common.

It looks like it says:

Lince

Meaning lynx in Spanish.
I tried to google a bit, but not much luck using the limited Spanish I know, 

Lince herramientos zapatos cuero

OK. It might have a very specific use then.

Thank you for taking a look. I will try to google more with this information.

I've been trying to find out about this machine but I'm not finding much.

The words "Marca depositata" is Italian for "registered trademark" so it's likely this is Italian made. The possible machine name may be Lince which is Lynx in Italian and Spanish. On the label in front of the L the graphic seems to have a tail and you can see the 2 front legs leading to it being an animal. So (Lince) Lynx may be correct.

More than likely, since you got it from a cobbler, it's a sole trimmer. Sort of like a 5in-1 but it's a guillotine cutter and it only does one thing
