Members DoubleBarP Posted March 7, 2008 Members Report Posted March 7, 2008 I was introduced to leather work at a young age by my Mother who did tooling and Grandfather who was a shoemaker and did saddle & harness work. I have some old tools here that I tinker with when I have free time. We (my son and I) recently received the following items from my mother’s estate. Spanish silver inlay spurs (one rosette missing) 1 spur strap missing Leather Secrets by F.O. Baird, Hardback copyright 1951, 71, 76, 82. ISBN 0-9182801-X. Condition is overall good. Some of the pages show’s wear at page crease. Tandy Craftool No. 42 Belts Galore by Al Stohlman, (no copyright listed). Tandy Batwing and shotgun chap patters. Copyright by Tandy leather craft. Leather cuffs – all things considered pretty good shape. Does anyone know where I might obtain a second copy of the Leather Secrets book at a reasonable price? I dont really want to take a chance on something happening to the one I have. Thanks Jeff (DoubleBarP) Quote
ETW Grumpy Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 That Leather Secrets book, when you can find it, runs between $150-$200. Do an Internet search for it, but good luck. Tandy has a book called Leather Art by F.O. Baird, which is a good thing but not the same as the one you have. http://www.antiqbook.com/boox/hyd/25913.shtml http://www.pocketsworld.com/LEATHER-SECRET...809,c29223.html Hope this helps. Quote

Members Rawhide Posted March 12, 2008 Members Report Posted March 12, 2008 I have one that I bought from a forum member a while back at a reasonable price. But anywhere else you look, it will be about 200 bucks! Good luck in finding one. Hope you can find it at a decent price too. Marlon Quote
