Members Topcat Posted April 15, 2010 Members Report Posted April 15, 2010 I would like to buy a Krebs Leather Splitter, in good condition. I will pay TOP DOLLAR for a good one! If anybody has one they will part with....please contact Topcat at tcantwell@lakecentermarina.com
Members D.A. Kabatoff Posted April 16, 2010 Members Report Posted April 16, 2010 Topcat, you can google Caledon leather in Calgary, Alberta. They had four or five of them last time I was in. Ken, the manager, is a straight shooter and will tell you what he knows about them. Darcy
Members chouinardragon Posted April 16, 2010 Members Report Posted April 16, 2010 Hi, Check out eBay, there's an old CS Osborne #85 & Randell kreb style splitter. Chris
Moderator bruce johnson Posted April 16, 2010 Moderator Report Posted April 16, 2010 Chris, I don't see a Randall Krebs on ebay, what's the link? The CSO looks like some things are not there. Topcat, It sounds like if you are paying top dollar, you know what you are looking for and want a really good one. Darcy gave you a connection to a reputable source. A couple other sources who refurbish and will tell you the straight scoop on what they have are Bob Douglas (307 737-2222) and Keith Pommer (605 372-4523).
Members chouinardragon Posted April 16, 2010 Members Report Posted April 16, 2010 Bruce, I just won a old splitter on eBay, looks like a CS Osborne #84, not sure. Please ID it when I receive it. Here's the old splitter listing on eBay now. I just checked eBay, the Randall seems not a kreb style. Sorry about that. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Leather-Working-Skiver-Machine-Tool-Old-Cobbler_W0QQitemZ330423109253QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4ceec08685#ht_500wt_975 Osborne #85 http://cgi.ebay.com/C-S-OSBORNE-CO-VINTAGE-LEATHER-SPLITTER-85_W0QQitemZ200461405897QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2eac6e4ec9#ht_500wt_975 Chris
