Members Tina Posted October 23, 2008 Members Report Posted October 23, 2008 I manage to get my hands on some Turmbacks, now I wonder... How many sizes did they come in and what's the number/numbers I'm missing? I have T944, T945, and T946. Greatful for any info:-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Contributing Member ClayB Posted October 23, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted October 23, 2008 Tina, The ones I have are (smallest to largest) 945, 946, 947, 942, 943, 944. There is also another set of turnbacks that look similar to smooth camoflage tools. The numbers on them are 432, 445, 446, 447 and 448. As you can see, over the years, as they retired some tools and introduced some new ones, they used the numbers over so there are sometimes more than one shape of tool with the same number. I have an extra 942 and if you want it, it's yours. Quote ClayB Badlands Leather Art blog Badlands Leather Art Website

Members Tina Posted October 24, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) Whats a turnback? Hi Pip, It's a disscontinued stamping tool, looks a wee bit like a kidney (in lack of better description) Hope this helps:-) Edited October 24, 2008 by Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.
