Members TinkerTailor Posted May 22, 2015 Members Report Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) So i go into this thrift/antique shop and ask the guy if he has any leather working tools. He points to a wooden box on the bottom of a pile of boxes. He says 40 bux. I dig it out and this is what i find: Opened: Needless to say i payed the man. He tells me lots of people have bought leather tools from him but i am the first one to ask if there is more i can't see..... Here it is all layed out: List: all craftool stuff is around 1970 and earlier. The 548 geometric stamp is old. There are also: j816 craftool co s638 craftool co. usa f119 craftool co. usa #7craftool stitch wheel Rampart Tools 3/32 stitch groover, Rampart 3/4 bag punch, Rampart #1 edger several different awls Geo Barnsley shoe knife. Made in sheffield and says damascas steel on it. Couple spools of barbour thread a dozen lacing needles a 12 spi clover stitch wheel, 2 lacing chisels, 3 prong and an old craftool 4 prong. a bunch of old and usefull hardware from tandy, including the proper setting tools for them. 2 home made ball modellers, really well done with 4 different ball sizes and an unmarked wooden handle modeller. wooden roller for glue seams The box itself also has a few more secrets and mysterys which i will reveal tomorrow-ish...

Members TinkerTailor Posted May 22, 2015 Author Members Report Posted May 22, 2015 Nice find! I know, I would have paid 40 for the empty box (its pretty cool.). Any 2 new, arguably inferior versions of the tools would have been more than 40 bux. Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted May 22, 2015 Members Report Posted May 22, 2015 Ditto TinkerTailor- I would have been happy with the box. I am totally jealous of your find. Quote
