Members anhurset Posted August 28, 2014 Members Report Posted August 28, 2014 I recently won a lot of vintage leather tools on eBay, a few overstitch wheels, a couple of Osborne stipplers and a tool I can't identify and wondered if anyone knew anything about it. The tool is 6.25" overall, with a 4.5" wooden handle, the wheel is chamfered and finely serrated, the "pin" holding the wheel on has a slot cut in it but will not turn. Except for a small number 3 there are no markings. It seems as though it's designed to make a decorative serrated edge, but it doesn't seem to work very well. Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted August 28, 2014 Moderator Report Posted August 28, 2014 It is a decorative wheel that is also referred to as a "crow wheel". Some bespoke shoe and boot makers use them for decorative lines. Quote
