Members DJ1935 Posted September 23, 2008 Members Report Posted September 23, 2008 Just finished these two belts for our local craft Co-Op. Both patterns were made by the same stamp used differently. This stamp came with some Saddlers tools which belonged to a Saddler who came from England over 100 years ago. The stamp is an Osborne one. Can anyone date it for me? I believe it was used on the winkers of bridles. Quote [font="Comic Sans MS"][size="3"][color="#a0522d"]"Growing old is compulsory - growing up isnt" [/color][/size][/font]
Members CollinsMS Posted September 23, 2008 Members Report Posted September 23, 2008 I don't know anything about the stamp other than I like it. Good job. Quote
rcsaddles Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 I can't tell you for sure but it looks like what they called a "pinch dog". I believe I have one and when I inquired to Osborne they could not find it in their 1898 catalog. I have been wondering what to do with mine. Looks like I need to use a little more imagination and jsut get to work with it. The belts look great. Joe Quote Joe Boyles Rugged Cross Saddlery Lewistown, Montana Romans 6:23

Members DJ1935 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Members Report Posted September 24, 2008 Thank you everyone for your feedback. It's good to know one is heading in the right direction. I have posted some photos of the stamp, and some others, in the Leather History section. Cheers DJ Quote [font="Comic Sans MS"][size="3"][color="#a0522d"]"Growing old is compulsory - growing up isnt" [/color][/size][/font]
