Moderator bruce johnson Posted August 10, 2012 Moderator Report Posted August 10, 2012 Pretty sure it was a McMillen roller pattern and just looked it up and verified it.

LNLeather Posted August 12, 2012 Report Posted August 12, 2012 Pretty sure it was a McMillen roller pattern and just looked it up and verified it. Sooooo, Bruce, where did you look it up? I spent quite a bit of time trying to find the McMillen Tool Company and I wonder how many others have too... I did how ever find an old leatherworker.net post from 2008 that said they don't have a website and the only way to contact them is by mail or phone and if you call them they will send a catalog...

Moderator bruce johnson Posted August 12, 2012 Moderator Report Posted August 12, 2012 Cheryl, I have a hard copy catalog and a PDF of it also. Their basic catalog hasn't changed. They were a little spotty to get things from a few years ago, but sounds like they are back on track with some things. The catalog hasn't changed for decades probably. Someone sent me a recent page from them with updated prices and kind of a "if it isn't on here, we aren't making it anymore" disclaimer for the catalog. Ivan's daughter is supposed to be running things now.
